I have 250 in mind for Gp1, currently imports about 205. Do I have much support at that level ?

Smallest crop in long Long time, wet harvest many quality issues, green grain low protein etc etc.

Yes why keep it for 2 months for a negative carry?
I've done a little bit of spot to ease cash flow, all forward sold will be gone in November and then I will see what I have left.

Can’t see 250 is going to be on the cards, I’m 50+% sold in the 180’s will sell the rest as soon as it starts with a 2

What's so good about wheat as a feed to be trading at £48/t more than feed barley?

No doubt a merchant would say that feed wheat is too expensive vs feed barley that is competing with zero tariff maize imports! The nutrient value difference is around £25-30/t but 9 months ago feed barley was trading at a premium to feed wheat.

There are limits to how much substitution you can do in monogastric rations but for ruminants you can pretty well put most things in that provide the energy, protein etc at the cheapest price.

[Nav man]

Got a wanted text from my ADM merchant for feed and milling oats on wednesday

did you get any prices?

 

[Flat 10]

did you get any prices?

They weren’t that forthcoming sorry and since I don’t grow oats I didn’t ask.....

 

[Nav man]

No probs, thanks for response anyway. Had a quick chat with buyer yesterday hinted around £140. Sent samples off so will wait and see.

Tricky isn't it. My brother probably uses loads of grain for his chickens. I grow lots of grain. But I am for top price and he would want lowest. Must be a mechanism so we both win.

When I grew potatoes I approached a few fish and chip shops to see if we could agree a standard price to even out the peaks and troughs and they thought it a good idea, ask them if another farmer or merchant came and under cut the price in a glut year they all said well we’d be mad not to switch, the other name for the above is a contract!

if its proper heavy slow draining clay,then triticale might be better
