I would just like to be in the top 10% of all of them at the same time once.I needed to move seven loads at harvest. Best deal I was offered on drying etc was simply an August delivered price. I have a contractor cut it, and preferred the calm of being able to cut at 20 percent and get it gone.
So that was a needed decision. At last year's yields, if I sold the balance today I'd have earnt c£1100 per acre from a wheat crop. Plus straw. Plus bps. So not exactly crying about it.
Fair play to those who sell at the top. I aim to be in the top ten percent for yield and price, and bottom ten percent for input costs (price, not per acre). That's about as much as I can manage year on year.
