- Milling, agriculture and engineering group Carr’s said challenging UK agricultural market conditions may temper the strong performance it was previously expecting, in a trading update last week. But in the food side of its business, profit will be substantially increased, due in part to its acquisition of Meneba UK, with its two flour mills, on November 18, 2004. Carr’s results for the 26 weeks to March 4, 2006, will be released in late April.
