Deductions

[Brisel]

If grain is being stolen from farms it’s a good argument for a far stricter passport system

All the stories I've heard of stolen grain were to people who have no interest in grain passports!

Any one beat this? £114/t deduction. For 96% germination……. and the grain company picked it up a month later than contracted……. and we tested it all at 99%.

Where did the grain end up ? What price did u eventually get ?

 

[Farmer T]

I sold it for £236/t for Nov/Dec movement last October.

Moved in February (no carry agreed and several broken pick up commitment dates) and they paid me the feed barley price on the day.

(every sample retained tested at 99% germination but alas that counts for nothing).

They should be, at worst, only deducting what the difference between malt and feed is on the day. They're robbing the market movement as well.

I'll be amazed if many people want to continue growing malting barley in future years.....

Should tell them that any rejections return to farm
I know easier said than done
I have had ergot rejections returned to farm ( very hard to find it when sampleing in the heap ) but rdirection charge and cleaning can cost £30 a tonne

now considering all malting barley will be stored in a central store 1 mile away with a colour sorter once tested into store not my problem rejected loads kept on farm for feed
my get a premium for keeping longer in store to cover the cost
