Stock to use ratios are painful if you discount china from s&d. But until the cupboards are empty it doesn't really matter. Your either hungry or full.

Is that an ex farm price?

All those olive trees burnt up. Heatwave and drought in Europe, Ukraine war, bad harvesting weather and low oilseed yields here. Price should be climbing? What’s keeping it down?
Lack of demand?

I wonder if RHM Cargills Kerry foods etc are about to announce mega profits?

Well today wasn't a great day, with a full rain gauge and the wheat price getting a spanking.
Why the big drop today? £5.60 I think.

Yep
first year I have grown it...was more like £600 when I decided to grow it... Did some rough growing cost sums today, my break even yields required with this years costs and todays grain values made me weep a little....
Government wanting to keep inflation down is my guess. Ever since prime minister had a meeting with the supermarkets about the price of food beef and lamb have dropped like a stone.Something is keeping things artificially low.

Someone is controlling the numbers, I am just not convinced its government, or at least not ours. I am sure Russia would be delighted by wheat at £350/t, China and India would on the other hand be rather upset. I am still baffled how when the war broke out and Ukrainian wheat production and export was reduced by perhaps a quarter and grain shot up so steeply... India announce an export ban on rice and the grain markets didn't even twitch despite that unexpected event removing more grain calories from the global food market than is contained in the entire Ukrainian wheat export production.
Looks like there will be more tomorrow, Chicago wheat down 37c which is around £11
It’s a good job it’s a easy harvest with no drying costs this year!

And large stocks left on farm this year going into harvest? Sort of a perfect storm. Perhaps a year to sit and wait for all the potential problems to manifest themselves??

Store it, stop selling, wait it out and don't plant anything this year.
Have a year out and stop working like the rest of the bloody country
Next year we might actually be appreciated for what we produce.

You may well do that.Store it, stop selling, wait it out and don't plant anything this year.

But within ten miles of you other farmers will be doing the opposite……..
Don’t you just love the ever steadfast stance of solidarity in the farming community…………one for all and all for themselves.
