I've had my daily text come through from my feed rep to say hipro soya is £408/t for november/December contract Would it be ridiculous for me to contract 3kg/cow for september-april? It seems a bloody good price to me...

It's made from soy milk. Not a UPF so can't be knocked on that angle. Apparently achieving 'supercharged' growth in sales on the basis of being a meat alternative. So where is the soy grown ? Japan ? What happens to the meal after the bean has been milked ? Why are the cartel, via the dairies...
