Function of price, volatility, interest rate and duration. Or something like that. So Nov 22 is now closer, and volatility has reduced in percentage terms.

Motorists (via biofuel), drinkers (via grain whisky) & livestock farmers. A little too much glee on this thread.

Since 2008 options have been much higher cost due to the volatility
Before then a couple of £ at most
Some option paid out £100 and since then the option sellers had to cover their risks better
If you took one out in July 2021 for may 22 it would have paid out £160 or more if closed out since the war started

Don't forget that buyers of grain could have done exactly the same......

how many have you already committed to pools for selling harv 22 crops. I have taken 40% as I always do, as an insurance and trade the rest on spot prices. Wished I hadnt know as I expect a fair % of the JFM 23 pools are already sold

Absolutely. My answer was merely technical. As you've so categorically ruled out sucklers, you'll be pleased that wooly maggots are well insulated from the vagaries of wheat futures.

I know it won't happen this year, but marketing is equally as important as growing the stuff. Anyone who hasn't got any sold forward at these current high prices, is as much of a gambler as the man who commits 4t/acre.

I used to do annual with quartely reviews budgeting then this last few years moved into monthly now its weekly or with the pressure/help from the t,internet putin and drought its almost daily mindst ive still nothing sold forward other than a couple of load on a pool which is likely to be less than spot but im working on the theory that the fert is paid for , and the rest is as its always been up to me

£45 over november wheat as a minimum!! youve paid extra for your seed probably gone or going to go an extra fungicide then youve foregone any milling premium and any barn busting variety yield ,even at 45 its not brilliantI have a seed crop of Skyfall in the ground that’s looking well.
The merchant is wanting to fix a price but I’m saying no no at present.
It will be movement at harvest or soon after to allow them to process it.
But if a dilemma now….

A month ago they were the great hope for exports. Sigh. Let's hope they have plenty of stocks.
