We normally export allot to Spain, this year they have produced more of their requirements themselves due to a good harvest there.

 

[yellow belly]

most uk wheat is better than feed wheat and is meeting milling spec of some sort as the French have a much reduced quality and quantity we can export milling wheat at higher prices than feed this has dragged the prices up for users of who need wheat starch plants, cerestar and ethanol plants they have to pay up or see the wheat leave the uk

this will be good for next years harvest prices as we will have a low carry over but if feed wheat gets to high a price we will suck in other feed for livestock

I think you will find the irish have had a stinker of a year for quality this year too

Lots of European malting barley downgraded to feed too. I've had advice to hold old crop feed barley as the sentiment is bullish post Xmas. I don't see how, given the glut of maize unless the £ keeps going down.

Good plan.

Recent earthquakes in Italy have destroyed the roots of winter crops and won't survive till spring. This affect can be found in parts of france and all the way to the ukrain.

Prices will surge in the spring!

A professional in the trade whose opinion I trust. Since I've already sold 90% of old crop feed barley it makes no difference to me really.

Ask him again if trump wins........

 

[yellow belly]

dry weather late crops and lots of winter kill lead to more spring crops drought next summer low yields lead to high prices
need any more bullish ideas

pound falls below the euro

good quality for all 2017 wheat in the uk

If trump wins i recon grain prices would be the least of our worries .

 

[Brisel]

So what is the view if Trump wins? Investor flight from Wall St, devaluing the the Greenback and making the US grain export competitive? A drop in the US$ is usually supportive to our futures markets.

Stronger dollar when HRC wins would reinforce your friends advice. Call me indecisive but I have a foot in both camps!

 

[bobk]

So what now for grain prices... $ is going to get battered but gold is soaring will soft commodities follow

A weaker $ should mean the US grain exports are more competitive...... going to be an interesting couple of days.
