I could ask my Estonian mate but he always tells me everything is crap when it isn't, or I could share some slope pics to really wind you all up.

China has record maize prices

they sell stock to try to control the price of food

as they play their cards close to their chest

the next harvest needs watching
good harvest and this time next year feed wheat sub 140
or poor harvest and 180 plus if any where else has issue
eg
dry in america

or no snow in Russia/Ukraine

or drought in Europe

hopefully we all get descent yields and sensible prices to feed the world

£Per acre is more important than £ per tonne
livestock farmers do better with sensible prices
cereal farmers feel better with high yields the £ per acre is ok
low yields and high prices do no one any good

£202 feed. £237 milling are the highs. 2011 Christmas I think.

I'd like to think that £160 would become another benchmark price, like £60, then £125, as it's getting dangerously close to being a good job at that.

The market is really driving forward now, anyone with a shed full of wheat will be laughing.

The pig and poultry businesses will be suffering at the moment and there can't be much margin in those jobs with these prices.

how do you mean broiler and egg producers been on reduced production?
Click to expand...
Egg produced for the broiler hatchery
They reduced the number of eggs so reduced the age they killed the laying birds
One site cut 6 weeks of their annual production
2 processing plants had no staff because of virus so could not kill meat chickens so they needed less chicks

If feed cost is to high then the chicken will be imported reducing the amount of feed needed in the U.K.

It's pretty grim. There was a surge in demand for eggs during the first lockdown but the retailers refused to pay more. This time round the demand hasn't increased as much, the feed costs have rocketed and we are in the traditional post Christmas sales slump anyway, and guess what, there is apparently no extra money for producers.

Been offered 235 for milling May probably 10 quid off that only 12.4 protein .
Same month £222 for feed guaranteed no deductions or rejection .
which would you take?
