The wheat price will change the bread price very little as its such a small part of the bread making cost. 1 ton of wheat will produce 1700 loafs. If the price of wheat went up £50 per ton it would add an extra 2.9p per loaf.Deffo give you an honest answer Clive
my personal harvest wasnt the worst but spring cropping has sort of bridged the gap.
2013 was worse ever year here that i know of & 2015 the best at over 500t more of product off the same size area cropped
Yield is King they say but not always as we all should know. selling price is King regardless of yield.
If the world thinks our commodities are all of a sudden worth £10/20/£30 a ton more in a year like this when there is a vast shortage of certain cereals its night n day difference
to our bottom lines. yet what ive never understood is nothing changes prices in the shops very much & no one seems to be any hungrier
Thats the mind boggling part of constant up n down prices year after year
Its so small a cost to them as they get it for peanuts !! and us silly buggers take all the loss or profit whichever way it ends up annuallyThe wheat price will change the bread price very little as its such a small part of the bread making cost. 1 ton of wheat will produce 1700 loafs.

Tescos own brand bread retails at 59p per loaf. Is anyone going to notice that they are now paying 62p? Or care for that matter.
No reason why we can’t get geared up to export to Saudi Arabia the biggest importer of barley in the worldSold harvest barley at £130 , not much behind where it is now and havnt got room for it to be sat in the way if no one can export it , Boris is not boosting my confidence.
I am sure they will get geared up for the job ahead but how long will it take , hopefully all will get sorted but if the powers that be drag their heels at the wrong time it could be a costly exerciseNo reason why we can’t get geared up to export to Saudi Arabia the biggest importer of barley in the world
couple of £ extra drying
It depends where our surplus barley isI am sure they will get geared up for the job ahead but how long will it take , hopefully all will get sorted but if the powers that be drag their heels at the wrong time it could be a costly exercise
Yep get better ports with deeper docks so we can take bigger boats. Oh and become cheaper for imports.No reason why we can’t get geared up to export to Saudi Arabia the biggest importer of barley in the world

There has been lots exported from the north east of Scotland since harvest but a lot has been trans shipped in Holland onto bigger boats.Portbury can take big ships
one of the issues is moisture
we also have the best tracability system in the world
a few years ago when feed wheat was cheap and Australia had no grain we exported to them they could be sure they got what they are red without contamination
we have also exported feed wheat to the USA
60000 tonnes at a time

all our oats have gone to Holland is this happening with them to? Sold 6 loads Friday lunchtime 5 have gone already, 2 on Friday
It does just seem to be 2-3000 t boats coming in up here, just wonder how big they could bring in next year, if the maltsters are talking the job down saying they don’t need it maybe getting a few big boat loads out from their grasp would help focus their procurement teams.....

Story was quite a lot of the feed that went this autumn was malting barley from the maltsters. It appears that quite a few took the opportunity to clear some of their stocks. Guess if they were buying at 130 less deductions and then getting 140 on a boat for it made sense for them.It does just seem to be 2-3000 t boats coming in up here, just wonder how big they could bring in next year, if the maltsters are talking the job down saying they don’t need it maybe getting a few big boat loads out from their grasp would help focus their procurement teams.....
