Reluctant to sell anything presently , the balls are in the air regarding yields.

Went to WestonPark today, to the Arable event . Their wheat was dying off fast. Not a lot of difference between the treated and un treated plots

I could store all my OSR and barley this year. Is it worth doing so? I don't have any wheat.

Surely barley can't go much lower? It's not going to be a good sample though.

Cofco and some privately

I was at cereals last week in lincolnshire and it was a similar soil type to Weston park light and sandy, but the crops looked a whole lot better than Weston.

They did look average at best. Made me feel better about mine!

Yes agree Silverfox they did look average.
Last Friday the wynnstay lad said they looked pretty good .
I guess that's what 5 days of 30 plus has done.Unless they get a good soak in the next day or two they will be done!
Makes me glad we have some heavy sh!t.

 

[Seed&Grain]

Glad 95% of barley is on seed contracts, extra bit of margin to be had.

Seed contracts make very good economic sense, particularly against the lack of Milling premiums in wheat!

I have looked into it several times and I can never make it add up!

I don't see any benefit to seed contracts either. The extra costs from the additional requirements far outweigh the small premium.

 

[Bossfarmer]

given all the fuss about drought last month how are crops looking now? they've fairly improved up here

 

[Jerry]

i guess it depends on the buyer and contract, but with us it makes sense and stacks up. Milling wheat here is too far from a Mill to make the premiums work so well though ready market locally for feed.

Do you want some pictures?

Have a look at the aerial photos from Flintstone in the drought thread.

 

[Grain Buyer]

Nov LIFFE peak £149, now £145, so who didn't sell, but definitely will the next time it goes up £4.

It will come back when they realise the UK wheat harvest is crap.

I fluked it and sold out at £148. Question is when to buy again.
