Has everyone started selling something from 18 harvest yet? Or some holding on for brexit?
Think he's got plenty of low bushel weight spring oats to find a home for. Luckily our winter oats are just about ok for milling, fingers crossed

Waiting on wheat, everything else went a while ago at good prices ! But probably have got it wrong this year I suspect. I’ve had a decent run of being near the top the last few years which had to end eventually I guess
Not over yet though, some big events possible through the next few volitile months
I was at a Cofco seminar today, where the advice was flog it now. They were expecting further falls towards new crop values. They did get it right on their harvest pool to be fair, which averaged £174.20 for feed wheat. A lot higher than competitors .Waiting on wheat, everything else went a while ago at good prices !

I'm thinking no deal is odds on and then the pound will dive .
We're missing Vivergo.

That's usually a sign to hold in my book .I was at a Cofco seminar today, where the advice was flog it now. They were expecting further falls towards new crop values. They did get it right on their harvest pool to be fair, which averaged £174.20 for feed wheat. A lot higher than competitors .
Plenty of wheat in the world. Compounders haven’t used anywhere near the amount in rations this winter. An early spring and that ship will have sailed. Barley is looking a bad job too, as it largely got replaced by grain maize and there was no big push on exporting it . What’s it worth now, about £175, which isn’t the end of the world is it. Certainly better than the £150 for next November .That's usually a sign to hold in my book .

I think there will be a deal of sorts, so a stronger pound is more likely . If it moves from £1.14 to say £1.30, that’ll knock a tenner off.
It’s all a gamble though !
I still have doubts over official Uk 2018 harvest tonnage
Who knows ! I don’t see it falling much but I’m also not sure it will get back to previous highs
No deal currency is factored in mostly already I think
This time of year is always historically a bad time to sell though
Still sitting on my hands (and probably wrong !)
Plenty of wheat but who holds it?never known china sell any.If you take the stock that China is holding things look very tightPlenty of wheat in the world.
