They must have a dark quiet room somewhere, after 2/3 hours of clerking for Greg most folk would need a lie down!

Carrs might have been no better, there's a rumour they have had billing problems this month due to computer problems.

Well the bill always finds it’s way here sometimes beats me home!

Around here feed firms have only part filled their forward requirements of
bought in grain.It will get quite interesting from the new year on.

You work for these firms?

The local John Deere dealer here the invoice beats me home , I try and beat it but never have desperation or efficient I can’t decide .

Wheat ex farm for May is now £250 ton
Barley ex farm for May is now £230 ton.

April prices are about £10 less!

How are they going to be able to supply feed in April for £290 ton unless its mostly sawdust?

Certainly the beef + Lamb price is going to go up sharply, like for like with last year it will need to be at least £9 kilo deadweight for lambs if not more come April/ May.

And beef will need to be at least £5.50+ kilo just to stand still !

i thought that last year , very competitively priced through season (they are a sub of MVF) while pauls price changed every month .
Nichols who supplies bridgemans as part of their MVF takeover kept control of their own feed manufacturing , ingredients list was fine last year ,
Presume they bought forward , good all round if this year the same

We got a snotty letter about unpaid debts 4 days after delivery and a week before the invoice arrived from GLW. I rang up the office and played hell about it!

Fair play to them if they can hold that price untill April and into May/June etc.

Only good thing about such high grain prices is that arable farmers will be chucking Fert on the crops in a few weeks time regardless of the high price of fert! which will mean high yields and cheap straw next autumn!

The rep at the time went 10 months before we gave him another order. And he started hand delivering our invoices then until he retired. We only stuck them another 6 months after old John retired before they were sent packing.

Reduced potash usage combined with large scale straw chopping
will create the perfect storm for winter 22/3.Less supply and back to high prices.

Its all about the futures market...no grain changes hands...they buy today at X £s a ton and hopefully sell tomorrow at a higher price....when it drops they all start closing their positions and it goes down even more...

Never right that grain/food is traded by money men just like stocks and shares.
