Maybe a scare story at the moment, but could become reality if supply ex farm starts to dry up.
Would you rather scrap around trying to buy 58mt here and there or pick up the phone and book 10,000mt and guarentee your supply? If the price differential was £20/mt probably not, but if it was £5 or £2, you probably would.
Like I say not happened yet, but easily could if we get closer to import parity.

I thought yields were ok but quality was poor. With a lot of milling wheat being downgraded to feed?

I stand corrected, must have been merchant scaremongering at Harvest, threatening a glut of feed spec wheat coming on to the market so prices were never going to go up.
They have had what we got in 2012. I wouldn't wish that on anyone (even the French) but it will have changed the market dynamics - they normally produce lots of milling wheat and malting barley.

The French are mostly used to selling quality wheat, their usual markets don't want poor quality wheat so they have to look for alternative market, yes their quantity was down , but they are still exporters.

In our area Cargill hoovered it up for vivergo. Let's hope that continues.

yeah they still had to compete with quality wheat exports out of Immingham. Don't think Vivergo can run on maize, can only run on wheat, unlike Ensus that can run on maize (think i'v got it the right way round)

Ha! I love the French people - I'm going there next week & am thinking of retiring there in the future. As a nation? No. Not with their current stance on Brexit nor De Gaulle not wanting us in Europe in the first place all those years ago either. They have had their uses - our biggest market for lamb exports & architects of the CAP which has allowed us to farm in the last century
Whitehall & Westminster would have sold us down the river decades ago if it wasn't for the French...Anyway, back on topic, I see the £ is 1.75% stronger on the € today after Theresa May's speech. What has that done to prices?
