Beats me a bit, these companies are making premium or specialist health foodstuffs, that fly off the shelves, and yet rye, oats, etc are always wheat minus contracts. Why minus; farmers are not good marketers are we?

supply and demand, feed mills have limited bin space and wheat has best feed value....

Looks like the oat buyers have dropped next years contracts £17 under wheat, so I've reluctantly changed my plans and will be dropping oats from the rotation. I say 'reluctantly' as oats grow well here and leave soil in such a lovely friable texture, but I'll be buggered if I'm going to manage a crop but be played like a deck of cards by buyers that always seem to want to flex their whip hand.
Quakers new trick is demand that all oat suppliers must be members of LEAF, as Red tractor obviously isn't awkward enough for us to deal with, on top of their 'modern slavery' questionnaires and 3 month delayed uplift...

Has been said before but oat buyers are put on this earth to make millers and maltsters seem like angels.

It may be your location but next years oat contract £7 below wheat futures, this year £6, year before £5. Apparently the oat users are putting in more capacity as demand has gone up so hopefully that will help

Still annoys me that they price it below chicken corn and pig feed.

 

[Chae1]

So little processing to put it on the shelf too. Clean it, Bruise it and bag it and you've got porridge oats.

And me.

How much have they dropped it by? Sorry to go off topic, but what oat varieties were you growing for them?

It’s not just LEAF membership they want, it’s LEAF Marque. I’m going to keep growing them for now. Not looking forward to the audit!

 

[B R C]

What users want Leaf? Mine have always gone to Morning Foods Crewe or European Oat Millers( now Richardson Milling) at Bedford

 

[teslacoils]

When they're (oat miller's) short, they will pay £££ for utter crap. When there's a glut it's "bring out the dancing bears".
