Dry is 162.....

£162 + £15 rolling costs is £177 ton then factor in the extra feed value of crimp v dry then £190 is not far off where it needs to be! certainly needs to be £180 ton ex farm!

What moisture is it? I think you’re getting mixed up between wet and dry

£15/t crimping charge?
Seems on the high side?
£10 is what I being paid

No, and do not forget you have the extra cost of the treatment for crimp v dry grain as well!

If you charge £162 for crimp you can knock off £20 ton in extra costs v dry grain at least so you are selling it for £142 ton in real terms!

Crimp grain is a far better feed than dry grain.

Dry grain doesn't appear for nothing either. £10 to run through dryer? and weight loss

Most people don’t realise this, people always express surprise when I tell them that we dry and cool all our grain every year otherwise it would never store correctly.

you work out cost of dry barley ex farm per tdm and work back with the analysis of the crimp. Allow £6 for the mill. The cost of additive and clamping is less than the cost of drying and a shed.
To be honest, £130/140 is about the mark.
