£202 wagon load delivered this week :oops: :eek:
All the merchants have barley bought on paper from Inglis who went bust. Most of my forward bought corn at this time of year usually comes down from their store in the borders, good spring barley probably iffy malting spec saved in case of shortage.Now it’s in the receivers hands it’s moving nowhere until everything is sorted, if they even had it in the first place. This house of cards could take some more firms with it yet if it didn’t actually exist. Coupled with the cold spring catching compounders out it’s playing havoc.
