May futures I bought a few pages back are £10 up to £202.50 - the question is add a trailing stop loss £5 below leaving £6 /t profit on existing futures held worst case then maybe double up and buy more with a £6 stop loss ? I can't lose as only gambling profit to date but is there more in this market now ? certainly, feels like it right now ?


Not sure about the £250 predictions but I don't think £220 May is a crazy aspiration now the way prices are going ?


doubled up on my paper holding for may 22 - now have significantly more wheat to sell than we grew and only gambling paper profits! May futures up to 204.75 today


I think £220 feed is certainly not unrealistic now

UK feed wheat is most competitive in Europe currently so wouldn't be surprising, but with such volatility these days could go any direction very quickly!

Maybe back a bit but think others are still £185…. offer of £180 tonight, feed now £176 rising a pound a ton a month, I have no drier, barley sitting around 18%….. I could bruise it all and sell it in spring maybe, or store it whole with fans in. Or be happy with £180, a Space in the shed, no worries about storage…. It’s tempting and a sure fire way to ensure that feed barley will be £220 by February 😆
You won’t get £180 at 18%Moisture after deductions probably £172
