The cost of wheat is rising quite dramatically and having a knock on effect everywhere. I've not put up any of my prices, but may have to soon as much of my stock is already costing me more. The first things to go up were the eggs as the increase in the cost of wheat put up the cost of chicken feed. Next it was bread, and then cheese (twice in one month). The smart people where I buy flour from stockpiled wheat a couple of years ago and say prices have gone from £60 to £220 per unit in that time. Their stockpile mean their prices have remained static. The only trouble is I sell very little flour, but a lot of cheese, bread and eggs!
