Wonder how much was actually done at £200+ when most on here were gree, um bullish.All those farmers waiting for £200 before they sold any wheat- what have you done recently?
If a "no deal" arises, we will be back in the £190,s!
Er, the decision is not down to me?And if a deal happens you will be back in the £130s! Go to Vegas if you want to gamble, will be more fun!

To vote in Parliament on Brexit next week.
I sent my last load of group 1 13% milling wheat to a merchant on a 2 load contract having fulfilled a seven load contract with another merchant. The first 200 tonne went through fine with no knocks. The separate load, first the merchant didn’t want to put it on as milling, then grudgingly did it after I insisted.I sold some quite well, then it was collected pretty much at the bottom of the market last month.
All went well up until the last load, then instead of 300 hagberg, it was 120. I was so confident of proving them wrong, that I agreed to the knock on condition of having an independent analysis done afterwards.
Of course the independent came back at 120. So tested the rest of the heap (40' wide, loaded from all the way across) and what's left is 320
That'll teach me to think that a small farmer can do well out of a big buyer, the knock is coincidentally just over what I would have been up on the whole lot.
Early days for a gloat just yet...All those farmers waiting for £200 before they sold any wheat- what have you done recently?
