Winter wheat yields

MrNoo · May 25, 2020

Next door's Spring Beans have just started to flower, height 7-8" tall. Been around this morning, crops still holding on SW I reckon may outperform WW here, the Feb drilled stuff looking not happy. The only crop that seems to be motoring is my cover crop.

thankful in one way as I very nearly sold some forward

As we almost always do, sold some 30% or so forward.

Now 90%, and counting.

My 25-30% is rapidly turning into 50% ?‍

When were these forward sales made, presumably before end of November 19, because I have not been very excited about the job since then?
Serious question.

Made some sales in July 19 and September 19 for Nov 20 movement. Looks a bit silly now.

If you’re looking for rain just get the combine out of the shed.

Sold some end of July18 for Nov20 at 160 on basis that couldn’t remember good prices 3 years running as 15% of expected planted yield! Not a disastrous price but will be 30-35% now depending on weather.

Prices in the £160 plus bracket dont look at all wrong to me, in any normal set of circumstances.
They will be better than I have achieved this last 2 years, and I have our 2019 soft wheat in shed unsold still, offered £155 last week and passed on it.
Last wheat sale was 2019 Nov hard feed at £145.
It is always easy to be wise with all the vision that hindsight lends.

Done that twice already.

Didn't actually work either time unfortunately, but it surely will when we've got anything fit to go - looking likely to be about 25th June, here, a few days ahead of 1976.

Bad news for 2020 yields - excellent for 2021.

Sounds far away but actually a month! Crumbs.

Sooner we can get the widespread 2020 disaster dead and buried and get on with all the upcoming attractive future prospects, the better.

edit :- didn't mean to imply that any kind of inversion would actually be necessary.

Its very rarely i wish years and time gone, last one was 2015 when we burried 2 parents 2 weeks apart but 2020 is one of those that sees me considering it.

Might as well take advantage of the time and the dry to get it all turned over though.....or at least a decent subsoil. Although I don't expect the soil to be in that good order after the winter.

Just ordered a new 6" tappered bucket for the digger to crack on putting more pipe in

May be too dry to mole now. Decent steady subsoil to shatter it I think.
