I’m finding it hard to get a max/min price contract for grp 1 at harvest?
Too volatile for the merchant to hedge it?

Giving away your age yellow belly
My God that takes me back to the old table books in national school . You of course are right the 12 times tables generation didnt need calculators still dont, yet many youngsters nowadays cant add or do simple sums with out electronic helpBack on topic Boortmalt have offered 200 euro a ton green price forward for20 % of growers contracts for the coming harvest .
A good sign of hopefully better malting barley prices this harvest .
Also British flour which has dominated the Irish market will now appartently attract a tarrif of around 170 euros a ton which may revvive the Irish milling industry with talk of a new mill in Wexford . Its an ill wind ....... We might just have to relearn how to grow milling wheat !!!.

Milling premium of 169 euros a ton makes it worth a try....

Just looked, at least is still going in the right direction, up £2 for us in the southwest. (for May). But we seem to be still back on what some further north are being quoted.
https://ahdb.org.uk/cereals-oilseeds-markets 20 minute delay on these without expensive Reuters/Bloomberg subscriptions. The markets are frothy enough that 20 minutes is quite a long time now.
If I want more up to date than that for ex farm, I ring a trader.
Making it what approx ex farm?
Nov 21? Feed wheat ex farm N Yorks approx £2 under futures Nov 21 £170/t, so ex farm wheat is £168 and feed barley would be £153/t
I thought you were talking about nov 21
£15 normal spread
always used to be about £3 down here. I thought the world had ended when it moved to about £5/t

Now ,now dont be so pessimistic !!! Though i havent grown milling wheat since the days of Mercia it might be worth a puntAnd how to harvest it with a hagberg in your climate
Then again if memory serves me right the milling premium barely covered the yield penalty versus the feed varities . And in our more often than not wet Augusts it failed the Hagberg falling number and went in the feed pile anyway . Believe it or not spring wheats that cut in Sept were more likely to mill as Sept USED to be a more settled month .More than likely the packers and bakers will get their flour from France in future which is sad really the end of a very long relationship . Didnt the " I " in NABIM stand for IRISH ???

Yes the I did indeed stand for Irish ........... but that was where the mills and millers were located, not where they sourced their wheat
