It is the pantomime season so perhaps Jack wants to swap his magic beans before his mum finds out.

You say you're a UK company but give no clue to identity. Call me boring but I don't want to send umpteen tons of barley to an unknown company who's got an export contract.
I like to know who I'm dealing with.
Maybe I'm just old fashioned

You like to know who you are dealing with and also the likelihood of being paid. Not old fashioned, just reasonable business sense.

2% sand and impurities sounds like a lot?

I’m sure we could find 1000t of sand to mix in with 49,000t of grain to make sure we got the spec right.

Not the responsible seller out side of Red Tractor, we need to be trusted better than the assurance schemes!!

I calculated 50k/t x £230/t.

Be haulage plus handling charges at docks too I imagine.

How many tons can you get on a boat out of interest?

50k depending on port and boat

2% sand and impurities sounds like a lot?

Think 2% is fairly standard.
One large grain merchant got caught out some years ago now when they over did it on the docks and the sand all settled out to the bottom of the boat by the time it got to the Middle East.

Think it’s pretty std contract apart from 14% mc

Will payment be in the form of the all new feed barley meme currency “Husk Coin” if so then..

Husk Coin to the moon!!

 

[l'ordinary bonville]

I could do with at least 2000t next year.

I'm not Nigerian. It won't go on a boat. You can have a nice warm fuzzy feeling knowing it will feed British livestock. You will get paid

Any supplier interested?

[Woody j]

what price are you talking about?

 

[JCfarmer]

Unbelievable on every level!
As Spud has said if you don't know the main grain merchants in the UK then you should be fired!
Trying to pray on us not so simple farmers! honestly

 

[JCfarmer]

Didn't realise grain could get Foot and Mouth?

Foot in mouth more like.........

 

[tepapa]

Why would a supplier of generators, pipes and pumps know who the main grain merchants were?

Obviously this isn't a good example of a customer wanting to buy grain but I do find it disappointing that the actual growers of the grain immediately point a potential customer to a large merchant.
What's wrong with doing your own deals?

 

[JCfarmer]

Why would a professional supplier of the above have to ask on a farming forum where to buy grain from? He was able to write us a LIST of what the barley should 'LOOK LIKE' and 'ADHERE TO'???
And what a fecking list it is with no red tractor assurance mind!

Would there be any growers in the U.K. able to fulfil an order of that size and not forward sold elsewhere?

I don't think they are a professional buyer of grain, sounded like a first time deal. As I said, not a good example but "ask a merchant" is perhaps one reason why your buyers have you by the bo**ocks.

Probably not but 2 or 3 farmers could work together to supply it and cut the merchants out.

 

[Highland Mule]

farmers could work together

Theres quite a few farmer owned coops in the uk, I'm a member of one and they can still pee me off at times.
Someone has to run them though and deal with the final buyer.
