Sorry you haven't had a reasonable harvest, think we are about to be in the same position following very similar weather events. Have you sold the crop, or do you store? What price do you hope to achieve? Many thanks, always interesting to hear from other parts of the World.

I sold 500 tons in february for 650 RON/t, thats the equivalent of 120 GB pounds now. That seemed a good price at the time, the crops were looking great and i frankly i decided to forward sale because i was worried about storage space, as we also have about 220 ha of OSR.

The prices are what they are because maybe 90% of what we as a country produce will go to the export and we are not big enough to sell directly to an external consumer.

It was pretty much general, much worse in some regions where some farmers ended up direct drilling maize in their wheat fields. If anything was localized, it was the rain
