Well they won't take mine for milling if it isn't assured,

just sell it via someone who has assurance and bung them a couple £ a t for their trouble ......... Bent yes ? bent as the corrupt system that created this stupidity ........ NOT ........ traceable as anything actually Red Tractor assured ......... YES

Make a mockery of it all - it will help its downfall showing how easily by passable and therefore how pointless it actually is and we all know loads of farmers are already doing this anyway

What I can’t quite understand is if everybody holds out till May for example then how do the physical movement logistics work?
Already this year, with no significant export boats, any feed wheat I have sold has been in a queue of up to 2 months to get into U.K. feed mills and 3 months into flour mills who obviously can’t take delivery of a huge amount of withheld grain at the end of the season. So, whilst the theoretical price might be high, it’s only really worth something if somebody can actually take delivery of it, no?

everyone can't hold out to may, most farms need at least some cashflow long before then

Well I made some forward sales that seemed good at the time but now look bad. My average will be well below 200. At the time all I kept hearing was there is plenty of wheat in the world ….. and suddenly there wasn’t.
Just shows how everything you hear needs treating with suspicion. I wonder if there was deliberate misinformation put about by the trade to keep the price down?

I'm seriously contemplating cashing out on harvest 22 OSR am I mad?
im thinking the same but every time ive got close to acting its gone up , at least on the futures as euro august is currently a tad over £500/tplus bonus , not yet had a price for as delivered of combine, have you ?
The other reason is at somewhere near 500 plusit is well above any other year than 21 which works out for me ( averaged)at more or less the increase in fert price for grass and next year all the combinables so really I should
