Thanks for the tag, but I'm not sure what I can add here. Ensus is the UK's biggest ethanol producer and it is closing at the end of April for "maintenance." How long it is closed for is unknown but with a depressed crude oil price, bio ethanol producers are up a certain creek without a paddle. If anyone can fill a demand for alcohol, they can yet they are still closing. That's less demand for grain and less brewers grains for the feed market.
Alcohol sanitiser is also heavier than ethanol. Usually propanol or butanol but my industrial organochemistry engineering knowledge is somewhat lacking...

Looks like it will be £170 this harvest.
hope no offence but as a cereal producer who knows the cost of production. a beef finisher who knows the cost of production and a contractor who sees the waste on some farms no wonder they need so many out bidding me at the mart.

Spring Barley will be no- where near that . Thousands of acres going in that would have been wheat .
£30-35/t ex farm less than wheat for new crop and no malting premiums. Undercut by even cheaper maize.

But also lots of Winter Barley that either didn’t make it, or won’t yield damn all.
Don’t think many have pinned their hopes on ensus for a while, that an vivergo within an hour of where I am and have been shutdown for maintenance (meaning it doesn’t stack up) numerous times in the last few years.

What sort of lambs do they get?
That's way ahead of SW markets latter part of this week.

Speculators playing in the commodities markets instead of stocks?
Yes. Commodities are seen as a safe haven in times of falling equities. Barley will be dragged up by wheat as £35/t is the max feed value difference to feed wheat.
MORE id say 520/530
