Sold all my spring barley farm to farm this year. Worth it for a few quid a tonne extra and buyer happy as below trades price.

It would be interesting to find out if there was much of a market for non- assured on here......?
Cos I've had it up to here with Red Tractoring.:mad:
Same here - more rules, more inspection charges and issues etc.etc , corn prices dropping , deductions ,charges, levies, haulage and weighbridge charges etc.etc - Non assured way forward -direct sell if possible , you don't mine selling a bit cheaper to end users but these plc's and middle men do very well out of us just by shuffling phone calls ???

Market for non-assured tends to be boats. Some boats are sold assured, some not, depends on destination. Usually £5 less than assured grain. Domestically, not much demand unless you live near Corby (Roquette). Dont know any other major user in the UK who buys in any quantity.

Yes it has to be assured. I buy quite a bit locally off neighbours. Generally give £2/3 over merchant prices as if ex farm is 105 then to get it in from a merchant is about £10 extra for haulage and their cut.
