Our winter barley and OSR have been a good average. They haven’t been so badly affected by the drought as they finish earlier.
Winter wheat on light land here has incredibly small grains. It’s like 2018, maybe worse. 2t per acre I’d say. Spring barley died off early. Don’t know but will be well down.
I sold one load of wheat forward for a good price months ago. The rest, which won’t be a lot is unsold. I’ll hold on to it. along with the spring barley.
Maybe we are just dryer than most but here the drought has knocked at least a ton per acre off wheat and spring barley. Thought this might be reflected nationally but maybe not.

See the bigger picture, food prices will drop some and people will have more to spend. Help to lower inflation and hopefully inputs will calm down too. Prices and inputs were never sustainable at the prices we have seen and the risk involved was scary.
Regretfully fuel, fert and pesticides will not fall as much.

Personally I'm surprised by how little futures have dropped on the back of this news (Currently -£12/t). Yes its still only the start, I for one am still very sceptical that the deal will be upheld, but the trade seems to have jumped or dropped more on the vague possibilities every time some random person opened their mouth or lifted a leg over the last 4 months than this.
Fert should drop with russia exporting some in the deal, its a start at least. We should all be thankful we arent farming /harvesting with rockets and bombs going backwards and forwards over our heads. This is the beginning of the end of the war imo.

Friday again and blimey weren’t Monday and Tuesday warm? Tempers were flaring, roads were melting, people were melting, and our local shop nearly ran out of ice creams! But we all still plugged on. Mad dogs and Englishmen springs to mind!
Monday saw Boss Man Chis and King Kev start another small job for Farm Services. They are still flat out busy and with harvest started are, like us, under pressure to get ready for the main drainage season when all the crops are off the fields. It was a small bit of agricultural drainage for a farm not too far from our base. A few hundred metres picking up wet spots and springs. It was certainly needed as even after this unprecedented dry spell the head wall was running pretty much straight away. Thanks again Rob, as always, glad to help.
We had an emergency call out yesterday to a blocked sewer on a local estate. All hands were on deck, especially King Kevs, being as it was Ma and Pa Dale’s house. A quick rodding through and blockage cleared and we are going to go back when we have a bit more time to carry out a camera survey to see if it’s an underlying problem. Apparently the bacon was nice!!
Boss Man Chris had been flat out with the barley he started last weekend, Paul and King Kev were on hand to help and DillyBob was there at the start of the day to make sure everything was blown off, blown out, greased and ready. With the Barley out of the way, just a waiting game now for the wheat and beans.
DillyBob has been a happy sole this week, that may have a lot to do with the custard creams that were in the tin. I say this week loosely as after he had demolished the custard creams he went back to the DillyBob we all know and love!!
Been a good week lads, thanks for all the hard work and smiles along the way. Have a great weekend and see you all on Monday, till then, stay safe and stay smiley.

There still, in the world, isnt an awful lot of grain. Its ok constantly running down stocks.....until all the stock is in China.

Whats the front mounted subsoiler for?
France been selling more than normal with their reduced harvest, Romania is not great other European continent countries all short, USA not looking great, Argentinian doomed , Paraguay buggered. Regretfully Russia is the only place with a decent harvest potential . Hence China buying were it can , most likely with full knowledge of what Ruskies are up to. Prices will rise but not for a month or so. Far too late for malting barley contracts anyway!!!

Also big descrepancies between USDA and SovEcon estimates for the Russian harvest, likely some games been played on either side of the 'true' number.

So everything else stays ratcheted up while our output prices slump. The first year I see a reduction in my council tax I’ll believe that falling output prices are sustainable. But really these recent “high” prices weren’t “high”, they were catching up with other sectors of the economy. Feed grains sun £200 per tonne arent worth growing against the new reality of higher costs and mark my words they won’t come down much at all.

Yup. Next year's cost of production is c£220/t.
