I like Stanstead , apart from parking fees

A thought has just struck me as a rt assured producer. I wonder if commercial stores have to have a period of emptyness to allow for annual cleaning as do I or can they seperately store their assured grain over year in the same store / premises .My inspector a couple of years told me that I had to be totally empty on the premises not just individual building at least once to allow for cleaning and to avoid any likelihood of cross contamination think it was the year mass balance was introduced .

I've only ever heard an assessor ask when the store will be empty so that they can check the store at various points in the process i.e. when there is grain stored as well as when the store is empty.

Worth remembering that all that is green is not always wheat/barley.......some can also be blackgrass and other weeds.

Cracking view of some of our very shite wheat at the bottom and rhs of that 2nd pic (its not all that bad). Dark green funny-shaped field in the middle is a neighbour who is a very good farmer and as usual, has superb looking crops all over (out of view of this photo) despite the weather this year!

Hey I wasn’t getting at anyone, we’ve got some areas still undrilled!

What did the funny shaped field farmer do differently, drill in September?

You weren't to know it would be anyone on here's fields, I was intrigued to see if any of our fields made it into the shot, actually quite interesting to see them from above as we can't use drones due to our proximity to the airport so never get aerial views. That good looking field in particular was a decent crop of spring beans last year, no blackgrass out there so 1st wheat sown end of September and up and away quickly, ours was sown middle of October, he's got good soil, owns the land so spends on drainage, ditching and moleploughing and is very on the ball, still manages to grow peas, beans and linseed successfully to get good wheats after them.

I was quoted £355 ex farm on Thursday, had hoped it'd be a bit more.

Cargills at Liverpool just started a 6 week shut down too.

That's a useful, short and more independent market update than many.

Was going to say, nice to hear a positive grain trader! The ones I hear are always very glum (big multinationals)

Tozer was one of the good guys at Viking.
