May futures for wheat is down to £200. The £ is gradually getting stronger. Does anyone think there is still an upside to the current crop market?

I baled out of last feed wheat yesterday, average for 2020 wheat at £202 overall.

Started to feel nervous for some reason. Currency a part of that.

 

[chaos]

Well done Jerry that is an excellent average price.

[Bramble]

Still not sold any 2020 harvest

What price are you hoping for?

I was offered £215 a few weeks ago. I'd bite their hand off for that now.

I sold a bit at £215, delivered, it went up a bit a few days later, was thinking I'd got it wrong I probably did, but not sure in which vway?

Best to sell on a rising market than a falling one, it’s just how close to the peak you can get.

China buying a lot of maize at present or are they going to back out of the contracts? Is that holding the wheat market up?

Is anyone expecting I hike in milling wheat when lockdown restrictions are lifted or am o kidding myself , I do think the country will go mad for a couple of weeks before people run out of steam and money!

I dont think there's much money to run out of, it's been spent on internet and in particular Amazon shopping.

If anything the demand for flour went up during lockdown! There was a lot more people cooking and baking. At one point you couldn’t buy flour anywhere as mills could keep up with demand. So if anything I would think demand will fall as people go back to work and back to there food on the move diets.

Wheat prices appear to be tumbling a bit at the moment with good growing weather predicted in the states and Chinese farmers being told to push for greater self sufficiency. Good for the pig and poultry farmers at least.

“Down to” £202 ex. North Lincs.

Was very true in the first lock down , second one I think the home bake brigade lost the war time mentality and the small mills aren’t doing much milling at all

Just sold feed wheat for £196 ex April and feed barley £165 ex May, was starting to get nervous that they might drop further and these prices are still good albeit off the top

I agree. I have just bailed out as well and sold my remaining wheat.

I don't think flour demand went up that much, the demand just switched from bulk to consumer packaging and the mills didn't have the infrastructure to cope with it.

Just cleaned my last bit of feed barley up, £170 but that was me delivering to a farm up the road.
