Ah, you will have a link somewhere to the on farm Assurance schemes operated in Bulgaria then.

Ok for an “orra loon” such as myself.... can I assume that it’s maize gluten you have bought?
Looks a decent enough buy if feed barley is around the 180 odd mark.
It’s a while since we have used it so I forget how it compares analysis..?
Is it assured? Genuine question.

As I posted previously for the maize when delivered anyway, in the farm assurance box is printed N/A. Not applicable or not available either way draws the same conclusion. Especially when it’s Brazilian. I bet they have all sorts of coloured tractors.....
Sorry I missed that.

I've bought (whole, not gluten) maize as well. Ground and delivered, it's very close to ex-arable-farm feed wheat price, which would still need collecting and processing. As regards RT, it is currently only recommended to use farm-assured ingredients in home-mixed rations, hence I've dropped out of assurance for arable, not that it makes any difference to the quality of my grain.
What is required is that any compounds/blends etc come from assured suppliers - but does this mean that all ingredients must be assured?

Do the Bulgars get a bloke with a clipboard out asking what the wind speed was and to see the rat bait sheet for May?

Yes its definitely corn. And it will definitely be fine but that's not the point of assurance

I’ve often wondered whether all assurance schemes are like for like.
To ensure all assurance schemes are equal should there be an assurance scheme for assurance schemes?!
As a customer of assurance scheme I feel it is important to ensure that all assurance schemes were adhering to the minimum required level of standards.....just as my customers (apparently) do of me.
I won’t pay extra for the privilege though as if one assurance scheme is not assured....I will buy assurance from an assured provider for the same price, or may use a foreign assurance scheme if more competitive.

pleas rant on the appropriate thread
for those who want to post about grain price
where is this year top for feed wheat
my guess is 210 to 220
250 is for next year if there is a poor world harvest and the uk only produces 13 .5 million tonnes wheat
my long term spread is 100 to 250 these high prices will lead to prices nearer 100 because every one will be planting this last year many left fields unplanted because they could not make work involved and the finances stack up imho soil needs a crop the key is to break even when the price is nearer £100 no crop is not an option as it was 15 years ago when wheat was £60 a tonne
as for straw yields on my farm are higher than last year every one (mostly ) is baleing it is dry so prices may have peaked but the winter weather will be the decider

Think you got the wrong thread, this is "combinables price tracker" Not speculator , reap what you sow.
I wonder if instead of red tractor I move my assurance to a Eastern European assurance company for next year mills will still take my wheat as assured ? Can’t see how they can refuse if they are using imports assured in the same way as they use uk assured wheat
Seriously guys this might be a good idea and way to crack the uk protection scheme monopoly that none of us dare to leave !

Apparently the Cayman Islands have very good assurance schemes. Tax free too!
So we won’t be importing any wheat or OSR after that date ?
......... I don’t think so !
