I started a thread ages ago about why weren’t the chicken sheds built in the east? Seems bloomin obvious to me....

There are quite a few going up in this part of the world, though not enough to really boost demand for wheat.

I thought Wales was mostly grass fed sheep. A neighbour hauls sheep up from Wales to an abbatoir in E Yorks, then the carcasses go back down to Wales to be cut up about 5 miles from the farm they came from. All seems a bit bonkers to me.

Half my wheat is sold for 148 for September. (Feed). Not the highest price no doubt, but I'm happy with it.
A bit worried about what happens after Brexit. I thought I read some small print somewhere that we as farmers will shoulder any reductions due to tariffs in the event of no deal. This must make selling forward beyond 31/10/19 a bit of a gamble? Or have I got that wrong.

Hang on didn't you say you were never selling forward again? Not worth the worry or stress?

Anyway, where is the best place to get live grain prices? By the time I have seen whats going on its usually too late. The price I am actually offered always seems considerably lower than the market reports but these are usually well out of date so more or less useless. I need real time info. A graph really.

Hgca update every 15 mins. Bear in mind prices quoted are futures so ex farm is always less. (Normally anyway)

I honestly don't know exactly how a no deal brexit and the possible imposition of tariffs on exports will affect forward sales moved after Brexit but I am sure will soon find out and knowing the way things go we will be taking the lions share of the hit.

Brexit uncertainty is making feel drawn towards insuring via Stable

Good idea ?
It’s a good idea for people whose cost structures are based on pie in the sky, it can only postpone the day of reckoning though. Over the longer term it will be like all insurance, too expensive. Just an opinion :)

Any tariffs are on the seller’s account i.e. us farmers. It’s in the standard AIC contract. In reality, the merchants know we won’t be doing any more business with them if they sting us for the tariffs of up to €93/t. Expect a lot of export trade August - October before the Brexit deadline.
