Hmm wheat yields 50% more than malting barley on my farm.I don’t know if it’s wise for me to grow much malting barley if it’s only going to attract a 12% premium.
Some, including myself, are now selling. This will take the steam out.
It will probably fall faster than it has risen, and UK prices are way above other regions around the world I'm told.
See the Hay & Straw price thread for further evidence!interesting psychology displayed in this thread .............. its gets a lot busier when prices are rising

I'm not convinced, just sold a little bit as cover, I remember well what happened last time it hit £200 people holding, expecting £250. The market just looked elsewhere.Surely if you're locking in now at that price then you're also saying/thinking that this current rally this season has peaked or near to it. Still think it has a way to go yet and thus in turn will drag up Nov19 prices further??
