Is he just selling the wheat? So you still need to thresh, seperate the chaff, clean it, mill it, make the dough, bake it, and stock it. Baking it is especially expensive I bet- power isn’t cheap.
Bread is one of the things I’m continually surprised at how cheap it is, considering how much work goes into it.
Power is not cheap in the UK. Mostly down to a warmongering shitbird to the east ramping up the price of gas, and most of our grid still running on that.
