Surely record harvests around the world are going to stop at some point?

If they continue they will just be normal harvests. Another one this year will be third in a row.

Quite agree but last time the world had a blip on production we all achieved £200 plus a ton for wheat , if not sold early , so I really do think there is a little government tinkering regarding harvest figures just to keep a lid on things and what better way to do that then record yields everywhere

That blip was exacerbated by low world stocks following the 2010 world drought. Stock to use ratio is much higher - for wheat anything below 20% means highly volatile prices. Currently they are 32%. The world can afford a couple of bad harvests before prices go skywards again :(

This thread does make you smile when folks are moaning that Oct/Dec pools only paid a meagre £120 but now £135 seems too low to start. I sold 5 loads of feed wheat a month ago for £138 Feb 18 movement to hedge my bets as Clive puts it.:)
 
Did 4 loads of wheat at £150 for May, openfield are putting it straight into store. Frontier told me to hold on to it, but wanted to shift some. I don't think there is as much wheat around as they try to tell us

Just had the rest of the weeks' loads cancelled. Word is that Vivergo has broken down again, and that they are sending the wheat which was due there into other local homes. Was hoping to be cleaned out and swept up for the new month!

But those are the exact figures @Surgery is talking about so a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy !
