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.

I did the same it’s a good starting point
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 The price I am actually offered always seems considerably lower than the market reports but these are usually well out of date so more or less useless.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.
And still you sold to them?
Hgca update every 15 mins. Bear in mind prices quoted are futures so ex farm is always less. (Normally anyway)

For September movement yes. I don't believe there is a merchant in the land who will offer to shoulder the tariffs himself in the event of a no deal brexit. 54% is no small sum.

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.

I think the answer to this is that down here in the East the "Doers" are getting Residential houses built instead.

Thats where we are just lots of housing going up in the close vicinity that then leave the none benifiters with the hassle.
Lots of poultry units in Lincs. Dozens of Moy Park units around where I used to be around Boston.

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.
