Trouble is, if the experts say it's going to go up, it will probably go down and vice versa. Most of my marketting decisions are based on doing the opposite of what the experts say.

It's funny, the price we get has very little to do with supply and demand and a lot to do with market sentiment.

Hoping you are all ready for the price to go through the roof. Sold out today the rest of 16 harvest (147) and 30% of 17 harvest.(130 of the combine August)
Just a whole load of what ifs with no consideration for how things look today. For a serious rally it would take one or 2 major weather events across large scale areas. Equally you could write an article about how technology and favourable weather could push the price down to 100 quid or less and you're just as likely to be right.
My thought too
Surprise surprise they've managed to massage the figures level with last month! "Increased food and fuel cost offset by lower airfares!" It always amazes me what goes in to the basket of goods, everything we buy always seems to go up in price far more than RPI.

If you were cynical you'd cry wolf at that. Increased fuel....lower airfares.....what % of air fares is fuel?! A large chunk I would imagine!
No news in there. The surplus production and lack of weather shocks means we're at least 2 bad harvests from the next big bull run. It was surprising how demand dropped when prices went up in 2007, 2010-12. Food demand is said to be inelastic to price but the graphs of S/D tell a different story.

It only needs a major weather event such as severe drought to trigger dramatic price rises. I am told that the greatest fear of any government is a shortage of food and the ensuing prospect of civil unrest.
The developed world has become used to plentiful supplies of cheap food, and the world is expectant of its continuity. It only needs one or two bad years for this complacency to turn to panic and rocketing prices.

I couldn't get a price line on this graph, so see below. When the price was highest, demand rationing occurred. Explain this please.
