The market is really driving forward now, anyone with a shed full of wheat will be laughing.

The pig and poultry businesses will be suffering at the moment and there can't be much margin in those jobs with these prices.
shed not full nowhere near !! Im not laughing just a smile which is a bit more than a grin ,as I have yet to sell whats left and havnt sold/moved any since end october despite the so called market gurus trade hgca etc etc.Albeit that sold prior was at less money bills to pay from thinking at harvest would struggle to make it through to next without pulling in reserves just got to hold back the green eyed monster s of greed and avarice

the higher the price of wheat the bigger the difference in£/t plus despite the better ww and wb sowing last oct there is still a fair bit of sp barley to be sown round and about it cant all be for beans

Fair enough. I agree with you on the barley area - whilst I don't think that it will be as big as the 2020 spring there is a fair bit of land intended for winter cereals that didn't get drilled up in the autumn that will end up as spring barley. The bean prices haven't tracked wheat upwards despite the rise in soya & maize markets so they can't be that attractive & niche crops will still be limited. Cereals drilled before the rains at the end of September look good around here & there are some very tidy osr crops too.

I assume that we will have an exportable surplus of both wheat & barley (malting and feed) after harvest 2021 new crop that should narrow the current price gap. At the moment, we are net importers of wheat and net exporters of barley which widens the price difference for old crop. Malting demand is down thanks to lower beer & whisky sales with Covid & US tariffs on Scottish malts.

I don't think that the osr area will rise a lot next year even though we had less problem with flea beetle in 2020 so plenty of cereals will be drilled this September too.

What are your thoughts on the barley/wheat difference for new crop? £10/t under feed wheat? -£30/t?
