[QUOTE="Dave645, post: 7880676, member: 55822"] 15% is just another trade con against farmers 99% of the time it makes no diffrance what the moisture is unless it’s going for export, and the buyer requires 15%. How do companies buying wheat to make fuel, have an issue with wheat that’s 16% in reality 1% moisture represents £2 in a tonne of £200/T wheat, so if they were doing a claim for a weight deduction then they should max out at £2 per tonne if the price is £200/T So at £180/T it’s capped at £1.80/tonne for a full 1% over 15% I can see the argument for a moisture claim if the wheat is for export but at no other time, the max you could argue is a weight claim which should be based on the price so 1% of the price, for a 1% moisture claim. so 15.3% moisture wheat that’s at £200/T is £0.60/T deduction and no more. if RT and the NFU were really on farmers side they would have got that as a fixed contract requirement for all crops sold under a RT assurance sticker. So that mills cannot charge more than a weight claim if 15% is not a real requirement as in the drop is going for export so drying costs are a real possibility for the merchant, exporting the crop. I would also second that a start moisture of 16% if the trade is happy with it is actually better for the whole trade, for multiple reason including drying costs the ability of the farmer to have a larger combining window without drying with all the benefits of that, and the energy saved by farmers and trade.
