[QUOTE="Chalky, post: 2207674, member: 1818"] I have it on fairly good info a certain northern CS after paying advances against wheat last harvest pretty much told growers after their costs(annual charge, haulage, drying)-that was it! Wettish harvest at times, payed out £70-80 I am told as advance. We can dry wheat from 22-23% here for about £7/T. Granted, that is helped by kero price. Friend up there who runs a commercial store, and all local stores/coops got together to agree no discounted drying due to reduced fuel price. All showing an equal stance rather than gift what could be a one year blip(though it looks that it is unlikely). I have his rates & weight loss tables. The weight loss is the advantage of COOps over commercials. We contact dried 1500 T here using commercial scales, and will have a good couple of wagon load out of it after outloading. That is the storemaster's-he built the shed. COOps will return as silo surplus/bonus to paid up members. This fact is something that has not been mentioned so far I think. We calculate harvest from intake moisture to 14.2% for storage. The bunce comes from the fairly universal commercial weight loss scales(when compared to actual scientific). Some merchants offer wet delivered weight as sold-but they will account for it in charges-they built the store-and are after payback-some have FOB advantage eg Lingrain, Tynegrain, Gleadells @ Immingham so no more haulage. You are likely to have less grain to sell from a commercial store(at least in all of my experience)than from a jointly owned Coop. Of course the haulage of wet weight grain, in a wet harvest, also adds up to a massive weight of worthless H2O that you have elected to wagon to a central store [/QUOTE]
