[Chae1]

Thought you were on malting contract?

 

[Clive]

Has anyone had a price for feed quality beans recently?

210 last week

Got barley leftover after malting contracts filled. Got fed up of malting job. They were only paying £130/t for spot loads and rejecting lots. So just cooked it in drier and can sell some for feed if it gets to a decent price.

Another year or worthless contracts .
They seem to play the game better out of central
stores rather than off farm by certain posts on here.

I averaged £172/t on one contract so wouldn't call them worthless

But I would be reluctant to commit a significant tonnage to this type of contract again given quality issues this year. Caused by the weather. Which is obviously out with my control.

Merchants sampling girl told me yesterday they are digging out previous samples thought to be too high in N to check germination as its back in the game.

 

[yellow belly]

There is plenty of weathered low n barley around but some may now have been dried at too high a temperature
or the risk of sending it to a malting home is to high at £10 a tonne premium

feed barley now a higher price than malting was at harvest

has much of the contracted In spec barley been used

210 milling Wheat next week movement

 

[redsloe]

personally i think grain in a store is safer than cash in a bank right now ?

You gotta convert it sometime!
How long can you store grain?
3 years.........?

 

[Warp Land Farmer]

That actually works out better than my HC beans a couple of weeks ago at £207.00
Done a bit of Dec 21 wheat at £160.00 will keep selling a little bit every time it goes up a bit.

Cash in the bank will incur a cost in the new year.

Goooo ooonnn????????

Before they do negative rates, banks will impose a charge on credit balances over a certain percentage of turnover. They want to stop folk holding cash.

 

[two-cylinder]

I’m not a fan of selling crop i haven’t harvested yet -

Neither am I, many years ago an old fellow warned me- 'don't sell what you haven't got!'

So business money rather than personal savings?

 

[teslacoils]

Yup. They will call it "excessive cash balances".

 

[bobk]
