But if you can buy a tonne of wheat cheaper than you can produce it for……… arguably better business sense than planting it…
that said is £184 (Nov 24) above or below cost of production?

Educate me please?
Hauliers are saying they’re really quiet with very little grain moving, with the exception of imported French maize from docks to distilleries.
For all that ‘Scotch’ whisky manufacturers like to leach on to ‘provenance’, it’s really about time that the conglomerate manufacturers of ‘sham drams’ were outed for cutting Scottish wheat and barley out of the supply chain.

All depends if you have a 3t`/a crop 3.5t/a crop or the magic 4t/a crop.

Budget on 3 ton. Anything more is welcome.
Not going to be many 4 ton crops this season! Most will be happy with 3t average.
I'll be delighted with 2
That’s the problem. A nice 4t/a wheat crop plus bps kept the whole farm average up with the crap break crops. For the nice first wheat entry.

maybe the same end consumers but not the volume of buyers giving liquidity, so growers would be limited to selling only when the mills are buying at a level they want to buy at.
As another poster just wrote the farm to farm selling has dried up. But mills could still hedge sales with purchases at the futures levels today and then unravel them when they buy physical grain in the market.
Similarly growers were able to sell at high prices when the mills weren’t buying etc

If mills have any sense they will have been buying a lot of maize long forward recently around £200. If they were all caught so badly buying wheat long at £300 like they say they won’t risk it twice, it has to be a steal

Depends on the yield!
Current prices aren’t reality tho.I have a few tonnes of feed barley I could sell to a feeder,FW price is about £135,at that I will carry it over,if someone wants it,they will need to offer over £150.I wouldn’t mind betting there is hardly any being traded at these low prices.
