I’d sold some forward at lower prices but then sold all the rest at £183 to £194, so the shed is empty with an average of £175 ( all feed wheat). Average yield of 3.5 tons acre, which considering the drought , I was very pleased with . Exceptional bushel weight helped .

So you've got an empty shed and big tax bill ...

Just sold 7 loads of low grade (11.3 - 12.5% protein) milling wheat £172/t December collection.

What would 68/69kghal wheat be worth this year? Been offered some but don’t know a value?

 

[Brisel]

What will the low spec weight grain be used for? Ok in ruminant diets as you're still getting a decent energy level with more bulk & fibre but for poultry where dry matter intakes are limited you'd want to blend it with better stuff. I can't remember what the AIC scalebacks are but £1 per point below 72 ought to cover it.

Funny before I read this I thought a fiver a tonne and blend it away, there's a lot of very good wheat about this year.

I think most will be kicking themselves they didnt sell, was fortunate here, didnt sell anything forward and sold the bulk at a very good price, just a few clear up loads last month in the 180's and 2 more loads to go, offered 170, cheapest wheat I will have sold this season.
I learnt from last time, when I watched the price go up and also watched it come back down having not sold anything, stupid. £190+ for a t of wheat is a good price in anyones book.
Although did take a knock on quite a few loads for screenings and proteins, the proteins pee'd me off as despite being tested by 4 different grain trading Co's the proteins always seemed to drop when they got to Liverpool sometimes by quite a margin. Even one load we sold at 12% they found it was 11.8% and I thought the malting barley homes were bad!!

I sold some quite well, then it was collected pretty much at the bottom of the market last month.
All went well up until the last load, then instead of 300 hagberg, it was 120. I was so confident of proving them wrong, that I agreed to the knock on condition of having an independent analysis done afterwards.
Of course the independent came back at 120. So tested the rest of the heap (40' wide, loaded from all the way across) and what's left is 320
That'll teach me to think that a small farmer can do well out of a big buyer, the knock is coincidentally just over what I would have been up on the whole lot.

Do you know which mill it was delivered to ?

I sent my last load of group 1 13% milling wheat to a merchant on a 2 load contract having fulfilled a seven load contract with another merchant. The first 200 tonne went through fine with no knocks. The separate load, first the merchant didn’t want to put it on as milling, then grudgingly did it after I insisted.
Anyway, the following day I had a phone call from trader, jovially saying “your load had a tour around Manchester yesterday”. He then went on to tell me that it got rejected from Ranks, they tried to relocate and tip it at Trafford but the mill broke down, so they tried it at Allied and it went through with no claims at all.
They docked me £3 per tonne for redirection which was a relief. I said that the previous loads had gone to Allied and he replied “it’s the best mill in Manchester” I said “why didn’t you send it there in first place!”
Still feel I got lucky, not because the wheat wasn’t up to spec, but because you are at their mercy and I would have been another £10 back at least if it had gone as feed!
I always feel relieved after my milling wheat has gone.

which Mill did your load initially get rejected at & why was it rejected ?

Feed barley price ?

I was offered £164/165/t for non-assured feed barley. Surely, if jumping through the hoops, it should be a fiver more than that?

 

[Chae1]

Any prices for milling oats? Been offered £200/t for Conway. January uplift.

 

[down n'dirty]

Quoted £180 today for Jan. Group 1 milling-take it or leave it?
