A Warwickshire farmer says food price rises are 'more than likely' if 'it carries on like this'.
By David Gregory-KumarFarmers in the West Midlands region say heavy rainfall from Storm Babet has left them facing hard choices.
Asked about weather generally, Charles Goadby, from Manor Farm, Warwickshire, said food price rises were "more than likely" if "it carries on like this". He stated: "If we came on and harvested today , we'd be harvesting the crop really wet conditions, it's going to turn into... a mess."The structural damage that we're going to be doing to this field and all the other fields, where we're sinking in, getting stuck... that's going to be damage that's going to last probably five, six years maybe."Even if farmers could get seeds into fields this wet, they would just rot.
