OK, given that I always start selling wheat before I sow it as risk management, my average for wheat this year could be 192 (if I sell the remainder for 230! ) Only got 200t to go. Still got 300t of feed barley so what's the thinking on that? So far highest wheat price was 216 and barley was 196. Is there a point when barley falls out of favour or will it keep tracking, can stock be fed at that price? Or do alternatives take over? Still got rye to sell as well which is always a punt and is harvested largely unpriced (50% of winter cereal area) so thats another reason to sell up the wheat and barley as there is still a lot of tonnage with price risk to go. Plus we grow a lot of spuds and I've got enough excitement in my life
