Hopefully nobody will have to pay £30k for fert for next years crops.To counteract the £30k load of fert, sadly.

Sold some wheat at £330 last week (although also sold some at 167 last year). Got to get to £344, see what it’s at tomorrow. Feed barely was at £270 last week and doesn’t seem to want to budge much.Hopefully but I think I’ll chicken out before it gets that high. I have a small amount of feed barley left that might make £350 before the wheat does. A friend said he was offered £300 for feed barley today movement in 3-4 days
I think there’s a little bit of a shortage of barley around us locally and quite a few feed mills so hopefully barley will keep strong locally hereSold some wheat at £330 last week (although also sold some at 167 last year).

There might not be any fert ‘to’ buy next year?Hopefully nobody will have to pay £30k for fert for next years crops.

The world order has changed, there is no way we will ever be going back to how it was before the invasion of Ukraine. We just don’t know quite what the next world order looks like yet!There might not be any fert ‘to’ buy next year?
What is worse, fertiliser @ £1,000 a tonne, or none available anyway?
At least at £1k a tonne we have the option to take it or leave it.
Let’s just hope some sort of sanity returns for the sake of the world and its people, and to commodity markets.
I fear other countries will value their food security and will subsidise their farmers to produce the food they needThe world order has changed, there is no way we will ever be going back to how it was before the invasion of Ukraine.

I’m doing my best to strap my business in and bracing for an extremely bumpy ride for the next 24 months absolute minimum. I can only see upheavals coming the likes of which we haven’t seen for at least a couple of generations.I fear other countries will value their food security and will subsidise their farmers to produce the food they need
They may subsidise fertilizer production to enable their farmers to grow food
uk just can’t compete
Excellent points Hedger good to see a trader whoIf you look at the most recent USDA WASDE numbers you'd think not. Same story for China with their crop ratings "apparently" the worst on record...
I think there's 2 points here;
1. There are concerns around quantity of crops
2. There are now beginning to be concerns around the quality of crops
No one has mentioned crop failure yet but we're not into April yet so I'll reserve right to call bingo when this happens.
Dryness/drought is becoming more wide spread in the US, even closer to home EU crops need a drink too and the long range forecast isn't full of promise currently.....
Who was that with nick?Just done 3 loads of feed barley for £292
Sadly I fear our government will subsidise the supermarkets to feed our population..!I fear other countries will value their food security and will subsidise their farmers to produce the food they need

Grainman is quoting 294.50 this morningWho was that with nick?
Nothing to sell till its cut might all be radiatedAre many people forward selling feed wheat from 22 harvest now the price is hovering around £250 Nov or waiting and watching ?

I’m only small fry with 90 acres of cereals split between winter and spring barley but what scares me is the end utilisation of this next years grain, my beef lad who gets my grain says the extra £140 on a tonne of barley since last harvest makes for red ink and the price of beef bears little relation to pork or chicken, and of course the protein element of rations has now started to climb rapidly also, can the public stand that extra for the meat protein on their plates, it’s portion control along with waste control,I have heard of chickens being 6 weeks at cull instead of 7 so they are smaller but the same price on the shelves and it cut’s costs due to the highest feed intake week being taken away. I’m also already looking to get rid of most concentrate use in my sheep flock with clover herbal leys for fattening lambs.Any thoughts on what’s going to happen to new crop/futures? Doesn’t look particularly good for supply around the world.
