Nor here. We are down at least 0.5t/acre wheat on last year. Not a disaster but I'd say average at best, perhaps a little under. Spring barley similar to last year. Good but far from record breaking. Peas fairly poor again. Oilseed rape has done best but it was well on before all that rain in June.

I'm looking at photos of these 5 ton crops and quite frankly laughing my arse off , why are people so sad .

Apart from the usual suspects i'm not sure people are sad.
It is true for many though that if you went into both this and last years harvest unsold you are going to work harder to make less money this harvest.

I sort of laugh my arse off at people in north Lincolnshire decreeing the banning of drought threads / rain demands. The irony is of course that East Anglias' can't actually have a drought thread without Lincolnshire telling them how dry they are, while ignoring the fact that, being typically a lot cooler, they are not actually that stressed at all.

Anyway back to marketing...prices are crap and getting crappier. And it's Lincolnshires' fault.

Is it a Catch 22 that a deal with EU should help stabilise ag in general, but would result in a stronger £ and weaker short-term crop prices??

What are beans worth out of interest?

You would like to think that prices will be at rock bottom, with above average, local, yields and storage pressure. Was talking to a trader today who said that buyers still aren't taking advantage of this, do they know something we don't?

I guess perhaps Australia having to be wheat importers for the first time in 12 years with yields 20% below the 20 year average and the great unknown that is the late planted US maize crop.
Everyone other than USDA seems to accept yields will be back a good bit on normal. Questions is how much is a good bit:unsure:
You’d think at some point the market will react to USDA being wide of the mark but will it be a blip or a bounce?

Exactly but why aren't buyers buying, when prices are supposed to be deceptively low?

They will be fiilnig there boots


Why?

Massive uncertainty with the future of ethanol, no secure market for them at the moment, E10 not signed to my knowledge and post October uncertainty over what cheap ethanol might come in from states or the ability to export ethanol to EU.

Fairly old article but still stands;
