UK down 50p then....

I do agree with this. But I think the best price I got last year was early July (just after my barley harvest) when everything rallied on massive drought problems with the US corn crop.

That all seemed to get forgotten about pretty quickly and prices tumbled and never recovered, until this last week or so....

Do you sell OSR forward? I don't think I have the nerve!
We haven't seen £400 for a while though.

A little bird tells me theres a boat arrived from 'Poland' loaded with wheat for William Grant & Sons distillery at Girvan.
And this wheat thats been imported to specifically undercut the cost of UK QUALITY ASSURED wheat, was described simply as "Dirty, dusty, light, just utter shite, the kind of stuff they wouldn't touch from a UK farm with a bargepole".

So next time you pour yourself a glass of anything other than Grants Scotch 'sham dram' whisky or their Hendricks Gin, feel free to raise your glass and utter a toast:

- "Up Yours, William Grant".

Only the 2nd year of growing it for us. I get it moved at harvest on an area basis and figure i could sell it the same way. Need to have a conversation about it though. It moved at harvest 2023 and i sold it in March 2024 for £360 minus storage costs

june a tad above that round here as is barley , sold 1 load kept the remaining few load . Reckon there is very little left on farm despite what others say or at least not going to become available yet but it makes sence to me to keep the cash coming in to stave off the debtors prison .

They are all the same, Scotland's most iconic brand "the famous grouse"is mostly eastern Europe maize,and north British distillery uses a heck of a lot of it,so much for provenance

It’s important to know the full story, yes a boat has arrived at Ayr, most of which will go to Grants.

The wheat was imported by a merchant who likely asked Grants for the option to supply UK or EU wheat, which would adhere to their specification.

Without seeing a sample it’s unfair to pass comment on what has arrived, I’d also say that you typically get a better cargo than the minimum specification.

Most consumers would prefer to use UK grain where possible but several factors which can result in imported wheat being used.

Also I don’t work for Grants before asked.

Surely not? Hendricks Gin describes itself as proudly Scottish.

Scotch whisky not need to come from Scottish grain then?
