Combinables Price Tracker

We have seen a huge spike in prices “thanks” to some awful one off event. Impossible to say when this turns around, but when it does there will be a lot of folk asking “what were we thinking“. Farmers saying they are holding out for £400 for wht forget their biggest customers are their fellow farmers….these prices are not sustainable. Neither is fert/oil/labour.

It is sustainable though, the rises in price needed for a dozen eggs, or a kilo of pork etc is relatively small compared to what people will pay for an iPhone or a leased Tesla etc.

Is £270 for low n malting barley for harvest 22 worth getting excited about or will it climb yet?

 

[SilliamWhale]

This is true, but pig and poultry producers still haven’t seen price rises to cover their costs, it will take a bit of time but unless the retailers put their hands in their pockets demand will fall.

I agree. Probably what will happen is your shortage will filter through later

Farmers are not price setters though

If we go into a shortage situation we will be.

I just hope that the pig and poultry producers who survive use the shortage to get themselves contracts that don’t leave them at the mercy of the retailers.

Has anyone had any recent prices for osr march/April?????

 

[nonemouse]

Anyone heard prices for feed barley? Hearing some crazy prices being talked about here in NI seems to be a fair bit higher here than everywhere else.

My bull calf buyer was quoted £290 to get a load of barley delivered next week.

Got more than that in January 22. Wasn't particularly excited.

Seems that's around the price for feed barley in North Yorkshire, I know of 2 beef fattening units who are struggling to buy it and when they have up to 1500 head of cattle on, it's not a ideal situation for them to be in!!!

Good, pull up the drawbridge!

Oh that's it .... I'm alright Jack

Ha ha! I can’t imagine there’s a huge number of people trying to breach the ramparts at the moment!

Couldn’t agree more but I can’t help but think governments around the world will be desperate to keep a lid on food price rises as it could well be , along with oil electric and other energy , the final nail towards a recession , people just expect anything to be affordable when simply not that long ago they were luxuries , how many firms and companies are formed off th

Great word.
Not as popular as it use to be

 

[Chickcatcher]

@midlandslad ask what the cost would equate too, or that's how I interpreted it.
Feed costs for me are an increase of food costs by £100 per ton would cost me an extra 16.2p per Kg of meat produced.

The talk around here is barley was 390 in Belfast yesterday. Seems way off what you guys are talking about but ive heard this from a few people now.

£720.

 

[Green oak]

Speaking to a neighbour today who is from Ukraine. He was telling me that there is a factory in Odessa which produces neon gas . 90% of the world’s microchips depend on that gas for there production. Taking that factory out of production would fairly turn the world economy upside do

An intensive bull beef animal can eat up to 3t of meal in its lifetime. The ration has increased in price by £100 , X 3 = £300. Plus fuel,energy,fert,machinery price increases. I cannot see the finished price rising by anywhere near that amount. A lot of livestock men are going to be working for nothing this year.
