Be good if a lorry load of grain would gross £10k
Now your just being greedyBe good if a lorry load of grain would gross £10k
Do you remember when it was £1500?L
Now your just being greedy
greedy or with input prices soaring needy ? Mindst with osr looking like it could well be over £20,000/lorry load at harvest and wheat as offered yesterday needing less than£20 rise in this current volatile market To reach the £10000/ load im going to hang on to at least one load out of the few we have left as reckon its more likely to get there than me picking the winner of todays grand national.L
Now your just being greedy
Least amount of spring barley around here for a long time, and at least 30% of all spring cereals around here are oats anywayWhere is this massive acerage of spring barley???? Around here because of the open autumn a lot more wheat was sown and there's only so much ground thats surplus in the spring to be barley.
Not so sure about dirt cheap though even at plus £300 it doesnt work out at a particularly large % of the cost of a loafIn reality, £300 a ton is still dirt cheap
And the US prairies still have a drought
I sold a load of wheat on 15th March for April collection it was collected on 17th MarchI've got some wheat sold for May,and one company want to collect their bit next week.First time,ever,I've had wheat move early.
Certainly not, most traders will only deal back to back nowadays and take the few quid.Cousin sold his wheat a week before the Russian invasion, £207 loading out today to Openfield. There must be several tons sold forward that these firms are making big £ on?
Someone is doing better than him out of the deal though. The market was stalling a bit at the time so I can understand why he sold it.Certainly not, most traders will only deal back to back nowadays and take the few quid.
isn’t that what did the same company 20 years ago? I would guess it’s only the smaller traders plying the markets now.
Yes maybe so, or the mill just bought it right. No difference to saying anyone who bought Fert early at £280 made a few quid….Someone is doing better than him out of the deal though. The market was stalling a bit at the time so I can understand why he sold it.
We sold a load forward from two years ago at £165, was a good price at the timeCousin sold his wheat a week before the Russian invasion, £207 loading out today to Openfield. There must be several tons sold forward that these firms are making big £ on?
Lot of farmers will have done the same, when the combine got rolling into the wheat and the yields we were getting I thought the best thing was to sell. Sold more just before Russia went into Ukraine thinking they were bluffing. In fact I’ve only sold 4 loads at over 300 hoping to have a few hundred tonnes left to sell but until we get moved a lot of what’s in the sheds I can’t commit to selling much more .We sold a load forward from two years ago at £165, was a good price at the time
I’ve noticed that digestive biscuits are not taste in the same these daysTalking to a guy who’s son is fairly high up at hovis. Said quality of loaf is starting to deteriorate (slices braking up) due to a shortage of high quality wheat…... ( shortage or trying to use cheaper wheat )
Recipe changed to remove sugar and fat I expect?I’ve noticed that digestive biscuits are not taste in the same these days
Could be but not the same that’s for sureRecipe changed to remove sugar and fat I expect?
Had all my May sold wheat uplifted end of March.
Diageo for distilling. Drivers reporting big queues to unload as if it were harvest time.
