Best not to publicise that, I am telling merchants all mine has gone, it will be found again at £250/t for full spec.

But It’s OK for large grain traders to buy it & store on into 2020/21 Season.

Still hopeful for early drilled wheats on heavy land. Kerrin.

You miss-understood, my reasoning is its does not exist, not about what year its grown, marketing is about creating artificial shortages, see fuel supplies on the early lockdown weeks, kero was actually rising in price when it should have been crashing.

About 15th of September off the top of my head
If they choose to take the risk, why not? They will have hedged the price with futures
It's the cash stability implication of this that one has to have the most respect for here, rather than the benefit from any potential price increase.
Hardly anybody's harvest's going to be very much fun this time, but I could probably make up a bit of fun for everyone harvesting here were my stores anywhere near still even 45% full from last year.

Id love to say the grain in my shed being carried over was due to foresight, rather than missing a pretty decent high and then letting arrogance take over and refuse to sell.
Just now noticed SO heading not much more than 6" high.
Unfortunately, don't grow any SB or SW here with which to compare.
I'll put up a pic of it, alongside my 24" spanner, if I can ever find it again.
See your earlier photo for a clue, you probably should pick it up before the combine rolls anyway. ?

I sold all my 18 harvest in late August at £194 a tonne with no drying charges so it was a rather profitable year
The sad fact is that even if prices get to those highs again this year we still wont show a profit given our prospective yields.
