Combinables Price Tracker

Just looking on Youtube some really world class farms out there be a disaster to fall into Russian hands.

Suprised at some of the show farms in Belarus too. Plenty of Claas combines, Krone foragers, Fendts & of course a fleet of Belarus for the minor jobs like carting.

With regards to Ukraine when i look at the map of the invasion they havent really captured much of the country yet. The Western half is pretty much untouched by the war so far. I'm not sure how much grain is grown in the Western half, but put yourselves in their shoes. If you had the seed/fert/diesel you would plant it. Might not be able to harvest it or might be unsure where to sell it but I bet a lot is still planted.

The bulk of all wheat and maize production is in Eastern Ukraine, with key areas sadly the regions currently seeing all the devastation. Western Ukraine is a bit like Cumbria in terms of crop production. So the drop in production will be very real.


Here's a link to production maps of Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. Worth a look and compare to the BBC maps of where the conflict zones are

but russia is liberating the east side from 8 years of western backed terrorism, so the area might become more productive

Can someone please tell me where all this feed wheat goes and who is buying it??
Is it all going into bio fuels? Because if we are growing crops of wheat and expecting a good price later in the year then we must hope energy prices stay up

Unless the biofuel inclusion is dropped (we'd be one of the last countries to contemplate this), that market is more or less a given, regardless of oil price. Normally the risk would be cheap black sea maize as a real/bargaining alternative feedstock.

The clue is in the name. Other farmers are having to pay these prices. They are feeling the pain right now, not wondering how harvest 23 might add up, after having up to 2 seasons of upside without all of the downside, depending on how lucky/astute they've been with their buying & selling.

Trafford park processes 3000t of feed wheat a day to produce sugar for the food industry and industrial ethanol which can also end up in the food chain.There are hundreds of poultry sheds down the Welsh borders which would consume very large volumes too. These are only the destinations where my feed wheat goes most years. I sure there are plenty of others I don’t have knowledge of out there too.

Quite frankly I think your post is total and utter crap , please no more of this shite
.
I agree. While there will be some neo-nazis groups in Ukraine (just as there will be in RUSSIA, UK, USA, Germany, Sweden, Spain etc….pretty much any country) I don’t believe they were any more of a present threat to Ukrainian government than the UK groups are to our government. Putins actions are likely only going to give them more propaganda to use to recruit more disenfranchised Ukrainians, it is merely a smoke screen Putins has invented as a pretext to do what he wants to do regardless.

I ask you @smallholder99 isn’t this exactly what Putin has always done, and is now doing with increasing ferocity, to the Russian people. It beggars belief that this can be seriously presented as a reason for Russia to invade Ukraine.
