LIFFE should be well up Monday, given prospects of yet another wet harvest.

down IMO - big yield prospects now, this rain / the forecast wet week will see most through grainfill

wet harvests still get cut in the UK - not many (if any) years that the UK has no harvest ? !
 
7 mm here today with yesterday’s 7
Do not need a lot more for winter crops

1996 we had no more than 25 mm in any month from February to July
The previous autumn and winter was dry no very hot weeks
1996 one of the best harvests 10t of 13% hereward off every ha

2019 more rain in every month so far
Later drilling on light land is the biggest concern for yield

Prices will be determined by overseas weather brexit and politics
We will all be better off with a bigger harvest
