No idea, perhaps it's not common knowledge yet.
But not to be flippant, I infer that Openfield have been marketing the grain for CMG, who I took to be Camgrain, and that the arrangement may or may not have ceased, for reasons as yet unknown.
Open field ceased marketing for camgrain years ago. CMG and camgrain are not the same thing

It’s a done deal from what I’ve heard but not sure it’s the long term agreement.

One of my sales chaps was out on farm last week and apparently it’s all in a right mess. Neighbours wheat still not collected and he’s been given all sorts of excuses from a lady at open field about legal stuff. Last thing he needs when he still hasn’t finished sowing this year. cefetre might not have the tonnes they hope they will the way it’s going

No skin in this game, but Openfield seem to be losing farm group support, which, on the face of it, is a pity. Are they no good, or unable/unwilling to match the sweeteners/promises of Frontier ( Camgrain and Fengrain ) and now Cefetra ( Cmg ).

Likewise no skin in the game, but the evidence - shown by them losing multiple prestigious partnerships- Warburtons...Camgrain...Aberdeen Grain....Woldgrain......CMG....- suggests it's perhaps the results of the current Openfield top table focussed for years on having their snouts so deep in the corporate gravy trough they have lost focus of their purpose - or just can't see what's happening over the rim?......
