Surprise, surprise. The loads all tipped into an 8000t store weds/thurs last week, asked the drivers as they returned if they were ok, 'yes they were fine'.....

Get 7 emails today for 7 loads claiming between £2-4/t for either protein at 12.86% or moisture at 15.2% etc.

The whole things a racket, the rest of the loads that went in and got slung on the same heap will have equalised it out.

Not cool. I have had issues with that home in the past.

Why do you think they keep building sheds ?
When I say they I mean other folk as well, other colour trucks tip into there own stores as well.

It was sold to a merchant, who then used that store, they levied the claims?

 

[limestone brash]

The whole thing is a racket
They should notify you of the claims with the option to have the corn back to your farm before they tip it
They should also only pass on claims if they are truly a merchant
A lot of so called merchants are in-fact end users and they make up the deductions scales to suit themselves

If you kept on farm samples and you don't think the deductions are right then challenge them.

All mills know the store location, the distance from the mill, and the hauliage cost home. So they are "doing you a favour" in even tipping it.

Perhaps they don't like Jeremy Clarkson.

£128 for early October feed wheat. Full spec gp1 £25 over that.

So 150 because they will find a claim if they look hard.

I was offered 150 June 2020. A few days ago.

131 for October 19....140 for October 20...south Shropshire!
Are folks selling forward for next year at that price or sticking?

Fudge them.

I'm not selling anymore forward at moment. Hopefully the sh!t will hit the fan when the market realises USDA has been lying about US maize crop.

Forever the optimist!

 

[David.]

Can't see any point selling forward from a weak position.

I agree with this. £140/t won’t cover a lot of growers’ costs of production. AHDB put most at around £155/t net of all costs including rent and finance.

 

[teslacoils]

Those figures exclude bps I think.

 

[Brisel]

I believe that you are right there. It’s a simple enough equation. My BPS takes £24/t off COP at the moment but the proposed capping next year for a unit my size is around £7/t.

 

[teslacoils]

At current prices bps = profit for me.
