Did you sell it locally? And specifically as skyfall?Well this is skyfall but no idea whether it would mill or not. I think I timed my call right and got lucky thats all. Wondering whether to cash in a bit more at that or not
It still doesn't make up for selling HC beans for £200 ton

Yes. No
In today's trading periods we have seen group 1 wheat sell for a top price of £202/t and group 2 wheat at £188/t with a price spread between top and bottom of £5.17/t. To see all recent trades from around the country follow this link to Graindex https://graindex.com/insights
If its another £10t haulage and low potein then stick with the £187t feed price.
Why do you grow Skyfall then, only option this year?
depends on the grade - E wheat (high protein) is plus £40 this year, ours made 16% protein on 120kgs N ! ........... but only because yield was rubbish !

not many millers want blended milling wheat
Its a variety that regally makes 15% - which is required for the full premium

A Red spring wheat?.. I had some many years ago for Hovis "british" bread.

sold wheat at 3 pm today the market had'nt moved just looked now it's gone £2.50 bloody tipical
no its a regular wheat - it’s a very high proton variety called Montana, very similar growth, yield and agronomy to Soltice - have grown it a few years and has alway been a decent return, in the first couple if years the premium was £45b/t - its £35-40 now and maybe less next year, as usual job gets over done !

Because I find it yields just as well as anything in a good year and on some of my light soils I think it suits it. I tried some Graham this year and it got full of yellow rust and a poor yield. I find skyfall pretty tough
My agronomist was saying how bad Skyfall was this year for yellow rust? Our Crusoe was no problem.
If a variety suits your ground and climate then stick with it.

Find exactly the same here although did have some yellow rust this year, really like it, grow it as feed but normally make milling.

Lol!!! So are milling wheat growers special? Bit like these no till types??

If it’s full spec, even with extra haulage taken into account (circa £17/t) you would be a £10 premium over your feed price. If it’s sub 12.4% protein you would be best off as feed.
either way it’s good money where it is

I have given up growing Skyfall this year, which is a shame as has always done pretty well. But concerned it is breaking down with rust and has often looked like it will shed, so just a gut feeling decision which isn't very scientific.
