Sterling took a bit of a slide this month dipping to €1.14 at one point mid month.
Some commentators saw the move downward as a consequence of calls for another Scottish independence vote, others noted the instabilities intimated by confidence votes in the prime minister and Brexit collywobbles over the Northern Ireland Protocol, the scourge of inflation and stagnation were also thrown into the mix.
Whatever the reasons behind the slide, sterling was at its weakest against the euro since July last year.
At 86.6p to euro, mushroom growers can see margins begin to vanish unless hedged against the currency movements.
On top of rising input costs, currency woes are not what is needed just now.
