areas that hold moisture (hollows, wet areas, near trees) could easily hit 13-15t/ha.

We have often found this to hold true in previous droughts (for example 1964, 1976, 1984, 1996, 2006, 2013 etc) Iben.

Unfortunately, due to the very wet Autumn and Winter and Spring this time, however, hollows, wet areas, near trees here were lucky to do 1.3-1.5t/ha.

My bit of the SW was no where near 1% up, it was nearer 15% down for WOSR and 15 to 20% down wheat

For decent yields on my farm, Jerry, all we need is 100mm of rain and 200hrs of sunshine in June.

In 2012, we had 200mm of rain and no sunshine.

This year, we got 400hrs of sunshine, but no rain.

its still a currency

I'm still holding some of '18 and most of '19 crop as a convenient currency hedge, Clive

The rights and wrongs of this probably depend a bit upon one's individual farm business structure

The higher the proportion of capital locked in to land and buildings, which will fall in real value as sterling depreciates, the more attractive it is to hedge with a couple of years of grain.

Still can't see the £ having any great drop. If there was a chance of it, the market will already have factored it in by now.

Anytime it has looked like any sort of brexit certainty was coming, whether deal or no deal, the £ has actually strengthened.

It will definitely fluctuate a fair bit, but from what base level?

If the USA stock market rout continues and spreads to all stock markets then all bets are off
World goes into a big slump and energy consumption fall fuel usage falls oil under $30 biofuel in the USA production falls

Uk brexit turns out not as bad as feared £ revalues by 30%

No import duty on cheap grain uk feed wheat under £100

Think he called it Brexit or something

To be fair there hasn’t been a lot on the news about it

Milling oats £183-185 ex farm for January. May not get that price if you are based in Sennen

 

[bankrupt]

May not get that price if you are based in Sennen

Or 42kg.

I do like to consider all the potential scenarios
The best possible to the worst possible
I feel this helps to maintain perspective

The news /prediction media up to Christmas was all uk brexit based
But there is a lot of news out side that that will have as big an impact on the uk as brexit

Still all possible brexit sea Rios possible so not actively doing anything different need to be fleet footed and awake to any possible action to any scenario
2019 will be an interesting year !!!!!
Weather will be the biggest factor for grain prices as is usually the case
Happy new year

There is nothing in the forecasts to suggest a topping up of the groundwater in these parts a time soon, don't know about eastern counties, but a hot summer on the reserves that we currently have will make for an interesting harvest.
All to play for, I reckon.

We were at field capacity before Christmas with drains and rivers flowing well
