I have a few acres going as whole crop sell it at price of wheat per ton per acre ,we have had 5 mm of rain this last three days. A regular buyer each year.my guess would be you might make more buying
Just going by what the farmers in the main corn growingwhich ever way you look at it there is a Huge ammount missing from the market
USA conditions have not been good, not many European farmers seem to be reporting good yields
why was it ever at 350 ?
You’re fantasising again. At £350 it just too expensive to feed to animals and as nearly 50% gets fed to animals the high price will cure the high price.I see no reason we are not heading back to 350 highs now
Was just going to say that,at £350/ton for a sustained period of time,you can say goodbye to beef and lamb production in this Country. Lamb price dropping like a stone,and no chance of beef starting with a 5 it seems.You’re fantasising again.

Grain at £350/ton puts compound feed back on farm well in the £400s. The numbers dont add up,thats all there is to it.When wheat was below £70 between 1996 and 2006 we were all told by feed buyers "it's the world price, take it or leave it".
Fast forward 15 years, nothing has changed. Arable farmers know all about tight times, but If you don't want it then farmers in Spain will take it; or hungry mouths in Yemen, Sudan, Egypt, Indonesia, Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc.
The price is the price, if the numbers don't add up then it's your call, but enough with the passive aggressive finger pointing.

Thats what we all thought when this carbon lot came out but the "experts" reckon the cattle finished at 12-15 mths pushed with grub are the future with a lower carbon footprint.Really !!
Maybe people will just realise that the breeds of Native bred cattle and sheep that thrive on grass will be the ones to have.
I can never understand why you feed more KG's of concentrates to animals, than the amount of food you get back !?

Who wants to work for probably?Actually, there is probably a margin still at £150 grain / £800 fert.
It's just the thought of laying out ££££££££ on something that's so reliant on the weather.......

a stone this time of year.
