Believe me I don't get it right every year and I'm sure some have done better than me. Wheat yields here around 20%below the 5 year average and 15% below 2017. With increasing costs, we'll need £200/t average just to stand still!Well done.

Just sold the last 18% of 2017 harvest wheat for £200/t for June 2019. Very nearly sold this around 6weeks ago for £165/t. That gives me an average of £162.50 for harvest 2017 wheat. All feed wheat.
Attention now turns to 2018 crop marketing whilst keeping a very close eye on 2019 and 2020 as well.
or storeWell done.

Had 125t milling wheat of carry over from H17 that I'm glad i didn't get around to moving now - didn't expect markets to get quite this high but always thought (unfortunately) there would be no pressure on storage space this year !
Have to say I'm beginning to suffer from "rabbit in the headlight" syndrome now and I expect a lot of farmers are
so esteemed TFF experts ..................... where is the top ?
True, but for the guys who have just spent £35/bird on a brand new shed of 32 000, and quarterly mortgage payments of £35000 there's no choice but to keep buying feed wheat at any cost. This probably applies to a lot of livestock sectors at the moment.Unless we see some uplift in meat, milk and egg prices I should think feed wheat is getting to the limits of affordability. Which would mean demand dropping?
Got a shed which needs clearing in September, can get £165 for 2019 and £158 for September 2020 at the moment.
Have sold a lot of wheat for below that in my short career!

Yes he can, but he's probably not a huge feed wheat buyer anyway. Point is even at unaffordable levels demand might not fall off as fast as you think it might.Yes but the more extensive cattle farmer can offload a few animals to market, maybe drop that far flung bit of grazing land etc?
The chap with no mortgage on his poultry sheds can produce cheaper than the chap with the mortgage, would be a nice position to be in!
