All the flour mills have fallbacks. So in case of Proteins, it would be £1-£1.50 per point below 13% down to 12% protein. The mills take claims on moisture over 15%, ( but do have right to reject over 15%, as do all feed mills).
It’s not in merchants interest to lie and deceive farmers as...
The other reason is that normally we export a large amount of Barley down to Spain. This year, they’ve had a terrific year for both Wheat & Barley and will be exporters!
There is currently little export demand, together with much needed rains across much of Europe including UK, relaxing the...

Last year, we came into the New Year at Wheat around £120. We finished the season in June/July at £150... solely due to the vacuum created by Vivergo & Ensus, which...
Feed Wheat in the North has been paying a premium of about £10/12 over feed Wheat in South.
We've been sending Wheat 170 miles north, getting a premium of about £7 more than if sent 10 miles down the road!!
Now Vivergo's closed now, will that all change?
As previously mentioned in earlier threads, it is many of (not all) our customers who are demanding that our crops are grown Glyphosate free pre harvest.
If we cannot supply what the customer wants, then that customer will source the goods from elsewhere, who will supply what they want!
