Ha, don't take it personally, we're only talking 2-3 pounds, and 400 is still good!! Just saying, you merchant didn't pass on the full benifit of your location. Otherwise, well done, plenty of flok getting £350 wish they were in your boots.

400x anywhere in the UK was a good price last week. If you sold it you did a good job. If you found some idiot to pay you 401x etc then you did an even better job. Fools and their cash are easily parted with.
Grain Buyer is doing a nice job here of trying to undermine the confidence you have in the merchant you traded the OSR with. The actual delivered markets (ie the price the crusher pays) has not traded at a level that has allowed the merchant trade out of 400x with a margin yet, so Grain Buyer is being slightly bombastic about the pricing of OSR in your area. FYI the market is now loaded with physical (expensive) product and everyone is a seller! 403x was never on last week and now Soybeans have fallen back on Friday night so unless the markets rally again overnight or currency does something crazy, OSR will be down, again.
If you sold OSR at 400x or better. Take a bow. You did a good job.

sorry grain guru, but common sense can see it is going to cost less to haul to liverpool from Derby, then from Darlington. Not undermining any confidence, and as I've already said, £400 is a good price. Don't know who you work for, but I've never worked for a company that allowed it's traders to go long without a margin.

£400 looks better and better each time I look at the current price. It's £388 now whether in Derby or Darlington!

£390 ex darlington, £394 ex derby. I'm really not trying to be clever, or make anyone look bad, but it's just a case of haulage. lets just agree £400 was a good price and leave it at that.

My thoughts all along. Perhaps you've learnt a lesson to not rubbish what others have done.

yes, I've learnt my lesson.
Just from another perspective than cost of haulage from X or y in Northern England. Prices are very strong/good now for physical crop. Maybe higher than some imagined. Do the UK based traders on here feel that this sentiment will persist for 2013. Or do you feel that a weather/harvest event could change things.
I know I was astonsihed to find that global grain production has to increase by 8 billion tonnes in the time frame of now to 2025 to even sustain global nutrition levels as of now. Due to population demographics.
To cut out the crap " I reckon sage of Omaha has it right."

Elmsted, you're right with the strong northern prices. I would expect these to hold into the 2013/2014 season, but at the moment one would anticipate stronger location premiums the further west one farms this season as well. North is a funny area as it is historically short versus supply, but once the demand is filled, it's a bugger to trade.
Is that a figure youve calculated or heard?.Its sounds to high to me .What sort of grains are included in that?.I would like to see how that figure was worked out??I thought global wheat production on its own was 700 million tons at its high.
Im sure i will be corrected by someone!!
Maybe given that milions are now billions there is maybe an error in what I wrote. It is the principal that is what I wish to impart.

From memory World grains production is 2 billion or so
China producing 500 million
USA 400 million or so
World wheat is 600 in a low year up to 700 in a record year

starting to feel a little more confident that I might actually have some new crop to sell after a week where we could actually do some farming !
anyone else sold much forward or getting tempted to ? I can see current levels looking rather good if things don't turn out to be quite the disaster we all have been saying they will ??
