Probably working out his insurance claim, i dont think the setting fire of corn fields was completely true tbh. A few fields nr a firefight went on fire.

Thought it was already exporting through the Rhine.

Would buying it not break sanctions on Russian exports? We'd be supporting the Russians giving them money for fertiliser and sending weapons to Ukraine to fight Russia.

Europe buys gas from Russia which flows through Ukrainian pipes, none of it makes sense.

Grainman down £10/t since last night. Looks like the party on prices is over.

With U.K. yields looking likely to be a ton per acre down as we move into wheats and spring barley, why is the price still falling? Drought in Europe and US. Scope for a price rebound?

As a livestock producer and buyer of feed,i hope the price keeps going down below £200. But i cant see it happening. Most of the European harvest must be well down and then there is the Ukraine. I would think the paper traders will let it go as low as they dare,and then start again.More likely to be steady gains from now through the Winter and next Spring. I wouldnt be surprised if there are record prices by then.
Wheres your ton an acre yield drop info come from?

It doesn't matter that's what cereal farmers should all be saying
to anyone asking.Anyway doesn't look too good for beef with demand plummeting .
Spring barley looks mainly sh*t driving around and plenty of wheat dieing off prematurely.
I thought the straw/corn fields i bought at auction looked better last weekend than when i bought them 3 weeks ago tbh. Beef job will be ok with corn price falling and numbers starting to fall off a cliff in the store rings. Prices are all so volatile lately anything could happen. Harvests always add up to more than people were expecting usually.

As we've got beef cows I hope your optimism is correct
but beef wont compete with cheap chicken and pork in a cost
of living crisis .I can see clean beef back below £4 dw by Christmas.

I think beef production will continue to decline year on year. Will become a rare luxury for those who can afford it.
Price difference between prime cuts and cheap cuts will likely increase too? People maybe just have beef when they eat out?

Barley and wheat back £100/ton, you can bet your life the Irish firms will be using that as an excuse to get it back there

Can someone please explain to a thicko like me,why all you guys were doing forward sales 2 months ago for £300/ton or over,and now there are spot sales at £230/ton. Are these sellers so desperately short of money,that they have to sell at near 30% less,than to put their crop into pooled storage and sale later on? Surely that is most of the profit given away ?
People like a change, they will not just stick to one meat. Burgers are our saviour, expensive ones! I bet beef isnt below £4 unless corn drops well below £200/t
