The barstewards, what have they done to do that then?

You guys tell us that RT doesn’t attract a premium, so it surely can’t be a thinly veiled rant about Red Tractor?
Have the NFU managed to reduce the price of feed barley somehow. Yah boo…

Well if you can't put two and two together on it...

Yes the NFU and the machinations around Red Tractor have directly reduced the sale price of barley for you to below market value. I understand your loyalty for very probably other good reasons but you and other small farms are being directly and totally done over on this. You can take a horse to water etc.

In fact they have also made OSR virtually impossible to sell and as each year goes by selling non assured wheat and barley gets more difficult, one day it may be impossible. So if you are a small farmer with just 20 ton of grain to get rid of surplus from your mixed farm you could quite concievably not be able to sell it. And your NFU is responsible for this situation - I think its an absolute stain on the industry.

Hate to hit the collective with negative waves, but I actually begin to think they have got away with it again.
If farmers cannot break the grain assurance cartel when wheat is £300 and buyers are panicking, what chance is there now at £200, the world is again "awash with unwanted feed wheat", and Russian and Ukrainian supplies are pretty much back to normal?

Does not add premium it forces discounts on non assured.. or makes it unsaleable.

There’s lots of non assured grain in NI which doesn’t get discounted and is saleable

Had a wagon driver in here the other day from one of the big firms, he said they spent the whole of christmas shifting canadian wheat from docks that was full of maize, ergot and all sorts of other c@#p........

Not one single load was tested according to him!!!!!!

We have no hope.

We cannot break it on our own, no. But we should continue to shine a light on dodgy situations when we see it.

No wonder English buyers are coming up to markets in Scotland to buy stores!

We are still 20p off that. So much for Scottish premium.

AA premium helps to be fair. I haven't posted on the Beef thread as I know how they feel about certain breeds on there!

Most folk didn't mind RT too much when it first started. Quick mooch about the grain and pesticide store,.manure management plan, pesticide records, stickers issued.

The N Ireland grain assurance scheme is not far away from this, and accepted by AIC. No NRoSO involved. Should we ask AHDB to launch similar scheme for feed only growers?

David. · Feb 9, 2023

Just want parity don't we?
I actually don't resent an annual check that I'm legally about right.
I really, really object to AIC keeping to themselves the right to wave in imports with minimal checks, when they see a price advantage. The double standard here ought to be tested in Law.
So I suppose actually AIC are doing right for their membership; it is just a pity that farmers lack an organisation prepared to fight their corner, just on this particular issue, if you like.

Spot, March, April, May?

And dare I ask, which merchant?

March movement and sold via Graindex but to a larger merchant, so not just a neighbour desperate for stuff. Seems we are getting about £14 over futures at the moment, maybe the increased cost of haulage?

sticky · Feb 9, 2023

Spoke to a neighbour this afternoon and he has sold two loads of feed wheat for March today, two different firms he said (didn’t say which) both £230.
