Got to agree, I start to sell to draw a mark in the sand, in the hopes that that will be my worst price. Some years it has been my best. The risk in a rising market is when and how much to sell? Then deciphering where the peak may be. I know COP is impossible until the grain is all in the shed but we all should have a rough idea of where we need to be and as long as we're above that surely it's all good?I don't get it at the moment, plenty of folk really cross that they sold 5-10% of an average harvest at £140 and the market has gone up, they have 90% ish left to sell at more money.
Had the market dropped they would be in a worse position business wise.
I have spent most of this week explaining reasons why the market could continue to rise to clients, but their target prices have been reached and people are happy to lock tonnages in at better money than they achieved last few years.
