I'm around 40 percent unsold, sat in central storage. I will do two loads at £250 for may feed when it gets there. Then will hold the rest to the bitter end.

Trouble is we can’t all hold until the bitter end and then try to unload it onto the market.
I’m going to trickle mine into the market and keep feeding it. Did a bit of April FW at £234 ex today. Obviously this area not trading as strongly as some others.

Shout out to the fellow early sellers....it was a good decision at the time 😂. Haven't sold the remainder yet, should get the average to £200

I needed to move seven loads at harvest. Best deal I was offered on drying etc was simply an August delivered price. I have a contractor cut it, and preferred the calm of being able to cut at 20 percent and get it gone.

So that was a needed decision. At last year's yields, if I sold the balance today I'd have earnt c£1100 per acre from a wheat crop. Plus straw. Plus bps. So not exactly crying about it.

Fair play to those who sell at the top. I aim to be in the top ten percent for yield and price, and bottom ten percent for input costs (price, not per acre). That's about as much as I can manage year on year.

Is everyone's wheat 72bushell or over and under 15%?
Seemed to be a lot at harvest time not meeting spec.
75/76 bushel and average of 14.8% on 150t grafton moved this month. Turned the fan on two bins to cool this morning. Tested at 2pm. 13.6 and 12.9% :( I will need to do a blend with some bordering 15%.

about 90% unsold, only sold stuff grown on seed contracts that now look like worst paying crops🙄
Did your seed buyer actually collect?

We have 3 loads of seed wheat to go. Normally goes in sept/early Oct or March/Apr...... this year we are lucky and it hasn't been collected 🙈 Its priced on feed price on week of collection (plus margin of course)

And 3/4 of a load of seed peas. But they normally go around Feb time. Price based around feed wheat price plus margin.
