Perhaps getting a premium for the protein? I was offered £142.50 for 13% Skyfall yesterday for November movement, but we have proteins well in excess of that. Feed wheat ex farm is £132.50 here, so a tenner for the milling. Sold 2 loads on Monday night and its being collected tomorrow.

Sounds like a delivered price down your way, unless you had some sort of Min premium contract to help boost your ex farm price. Gp1 trading at £146-47 delivered to the midlands.

Sorry, 14% was the protein. Forget the exact bushel but it was mid 70s.
Booked 1000t of chicken feed last month, Oct-Apr £195-185 peak lay-mid lay, nice to get that call right for once.

It's ex-farm, they want it to blend with lower protein stuff but may yet incur deductions on bushel weight.

that's a strong delivered price, never mind ex farm! Pro is not an issue this year, in fact high pro is starting to become a problem in some mills.

Yeah it was a strange one, Dad had been selling some wheat but was on a knapsack sprayer course yesterday and so not answering his phone, the merchant was calling me to get a decision on how many loads to commit as the price of wheat was dropping yesterday late morning and he though the mill might pull out?
I hadn't been keeping up with the market since the chicken feed was booked, so I was aware the market had risen on the back of currency but didn't know quite where it was. Anyway Dad is now fully knapsack compliant after a mere 62 years without a ticket and the mill booked 4 loads each month.
Sounds like a case of being in the right place at the right time with the right product. If only that could be replicated!

Hope so else Ive missed it.
Had a word with one of our long pools today and they hadnt sold much early which is good news. I was beginning to think it was a bad year to be in some pools. I suppose earlier ones might have caught a cold.
On the plus side my decision to leave some of last year's in the shed was a good move although I sold it forward for £128 it was still better than the £100 I might have took to get clear and it also meant I have not sold any of this years forward although alot in long pool.

So, they are charging you £5 for the pleasure of delivering your own wheat?

What oat contracts are people being offered for oats harvested 2017?
Good price but is that not the wrong way round?
