I get that. It's just it feels we won't see the benefits with general inflation. I'm probably wrong but 12months ago I could never have expected to feel so miserable about such high prices.
Youve swore at me more than once this year when I've been very despondent about sitting on a shed full of wheat unsold and what grain I have sold has all started with a 2, but it seems your thinking like me now.

It's not so much about the high prices more the state of the world. I'm not feeling terribly articulate. I'm just jealous how much better you have sold your harvest to me.

Ah, I see.
It's more luck than judgement.....well actually it's luck. My "not getting round to it" policy has paid off but it could very easily bite me in the arse!!!!
It sound hard and heartless but at the end of the day we all have to do what's right for our own businesses and not worry about others.

The circumstances of the price increases are not a good thing, however wheat @ £300 a tonne is the bottom of where it should be when you look at how all of our costs have gone up since the 90’s not even taking into account the latest Fert/ fuel price increases. The livestock sector will have to follow suit eventually.
Maybe it’s not sustainable currently but maybe it’s not really been sustainable to grow wheat for years? We all do it and always will but there hasn’t been any room for error or weather disasters for years 🤷‍♂️
 
if russias stealing ukranian wheat theyll sell it on the global market which would lower the price?
Russia controls a small part of Ukraine

the biggest impact on grain yields is fertiliser price and availability reducing usage

crop conditions in many countries are NOT very good

not selling ant till it’s in the shed
if you need the cash join a coop or trade with a merchant that pays on account price not fixed

I think wheat at £250+ is here to stay.So that means pork,chicken and eggs will have to go up or there won’t be any,specially in the UK but it is a world wide problem.The general public and government will be VERY reluctant to accept this at the expense of the leisure economy and luxury goods(£1500 i phones,£70k cars on lease that they have no hope of actually buying etc).Gonna be an interesting couple years cos they have literally no idea this is going to happen yet.
Spot on.

Just come on here to see what has happened as my app has massive falls, but no comments😳
osr, for eg, had been €1,100 last week, now low 8 hundreds and feed barley has lost circa 40 euros.
i even looked to see if the app had switched from Euro to pounds🤔
