Alan,
the first part of your procedure makes no sense. First you take Farm_Code
and multiply by Gbp Per Load and then count them?? You probably need to do
this differently, e.g. by doing a FOR SELECT and then do the necessary
calculations on a per record basis.

As for your second question - you have no where clause in your updates, so
you are asking for all records to be updated twice in this procedure. You
should probably add a WHERE EXISTS clause duplicating quite a bit from your
subselect.

HTH,
