Was that through the orange lot?If correct then it can only mean prices will go up further.
Was offered 325 yesterday, think we'll be seen 350 before harvest very soon.

To think the 10t I put in that trailer will soon be worth more than 2 artic loads when I first started.
In 1985 £135 was sustainable why nearly 40 years later is £300 not......???

Its certainly more sustainable. Just needs the price of eggs, chicken and pork to go up.

And remember back in 1985 were a fraction of what they are now, fuel 10-15p, fert £100-120 could buy a reasonable tractor for 10k

Indeed. We are pleased with feed grain prices but how can they be sustained unless livestock produce prices rise considerably?
I can remember when I was at school and my dad saying it’s a bad job when you carn’t buy a pair of work boot with a ton of wheat. I sold a load for sept 22 so new work boots on order

A basic chicken is still ridiculously cheap in the supermarket.

£300 a tonne is 30p a kilo and you need less than that to make a loaf of bread.
So I would say it's sustainable, and if other stuff goes up, shoppers will be more willing to buy bread at a higher price.

The dynamics of the grain markets fascinate me really. I can pick up the phone and sell feed wheat forward for November at what would appear to me to be an unsustainable price but a contract is still made. How do they know they’ll have a customer for it? Imagine it on a Parish scale. My chicken farmer says he is not buying it at that. He will wait till November. I’m technically stuck with a worthless product till then. If he can’t use it, what’s it worth then?
I know, it’s global, but there must come a time when customer resistance will put the brakes on or reverse the price however scarce it is?

Never mind bread, try feeding livestock!
I think wheat at £250+ is here to stay.So that means pork,chicken and eggs will have to go up or there won’t be any,specially in the UK but it is a world wide problem.The general public and government will be VERY reluctant to accept this at the expense of the leisure economy and luxury goods(£1500 i phones,£70k cars on lease that they have no hope of actually buying etc).Gonna be an interesting couple years cos they have literally no idea this is going to happen yet.

I know. They will have to pay up for that too if they want it.

tbh they can grumble but really have very little choice. Govt now saddled with an energy company worth nothing and a wont be long until they are the largest energy supplier just in time to tell their "customers" that the October price cap has taken another two grand per household off their budgets. House extensions, foreign holidays will all come to a grinding halt.
Yeah and they'd better hurry up
I get that. It's just it feels we won't see the benefits with general inflation. I'm probably wrong but 12months ago I could never have expected to feel so miserable about such high prices.

Because people have to much crap to buy that they think is more important than food,energy and a home.
