[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 6310052, member: 166"] FFS if I was that good I'd be in Farmers Weekly! I really didn't sell it all at the top of the market - I'm 60% sold on new crop and have nothing but drought in the forecast if there's a nice little bull run coming so won't be brave enough to sell any more until it's in the shed and the quality is known. Some is on min/max or upside contracts so there's a floor price set. I also sold my 2018 osr at £300 having put it into a rented store for £10 and could have sold it all at harvest for £325. Think of a strategy, write it down and stick to it. Aim for a good average in the long term, not to aim for the top then bail out at the bottom. I sell a lot forward because I have budgets to fulfil and the prices exceeded those. Others prefer to stay long and not sell anything until it's in the shed or chuck it in a pool as a benchmark. That's fine too but what would have worked one year is no guarantee of a good result the next. Everyone's attitude to risk is different. When I do get it right, I'll be buying Necker Island from Richard Branson and playing the markets from the beach. Until then, I'm just another keyboard warrior with an opinion. [/QUOTE]
