someone bought at the wrong price 5 months ago then !

Oh so it’s the same with boats as wagons then.......

I will be surprised if similar tactics don't come into play with some forward sold grain.

Could struggle to justify moisture and specific weight claims this year - unless of course it is to dry and to heavy!

Unlikely. Will have to pull the "fit for purpose" stunt to reject too dry grain.

Yeah because they have a list of contracts and prices in the weighbridge office at all mills so is bound to happen.

Do they have a nice form telling them where it's from, and a list of hauliage rates to know how much it costs to have it sent back?

Oh , cynicism ho ho

they play the long game, next we will see a push to reduce moisture , increase bushel weights and reduce admix then lengthen the protein content but increase the higher spec and raise deductions . whilst at the same time using the RT scheme to blame the grower for any problems down the line

Knock offs for moisture at local mills has already doubled.

Carry from month to month hasn't.

forgot to mention weighbridge charges going up and yet most places have their own trading standards checked, but not open to the public so why do they charge,

I resent paying a weighbridge fee for grain leaving a central store.

I have heard of a "knock" because the grain is too warm.

Would that just be the heat of the weather?

Looking to the future it would be nice if the end users would lead an initiative to raise acceptable moisture content to 16% (or similar) A win on many counts. From an industry perspective an overall reduction in carbon footprint of grain as less energy used to heat grain and or blow air. Helpful to those farms with underfloor drying systems built in the 1970s and 80s for which 15% (in effect to be safe 14.5%) is difficult to achieve in more normal moisture seasons. Many reasons.

Im wating for it. Mind if it does happen it will leave a bad taste that wont be forgotten

I think farmers are hyping themselves up for no good reason.

They have to make up for a lack of moisture claims in a dry year.
