[Grain Buyer]

£11 per year per tonne on owned space, including haulage in to store (excluding members rebate).

Can you give some more detail on what you're thinking please? Rent/buy off farm space or build your own. Long or short term investment? Some very different figures quoted above with very different levels of service. Haulage to a store 1/2 hr away in a lorry is going to be circa £6/t before you've loaded in, out, dried, cleaned and looked after it. Cost of money is around £1/t/month. Then you've got to sell it well to recover the cost.

£8 to the following June, if out before end of the year £4.25/tonne. If you follow grain markets certainly this year storage is a cheap investment in reality!

[Wobblebox]

I'm paying 25p/wk/ton
£1.50 intake fee and £2 out loading

Cheaper than building my own store

I think for wheat / OSR it pays most years when there is a £1/t carry / month £8 can be recouped by selling selling May move vs Oct into the same market so go June / July movement and you’re in profit anyway

It comes down to that grain storage is far too cheap. We have permission to put another 5000 tonne up but cannot justify on the current charges. I hope that coming out of Europe things change. The raw crop needs to be worth more, we need to be paid more to haul it and more to store it. Oh look a pig just flown past!

We were on £12 per ton back in 2012, found industrial storage far more lucrative since.

I tr kin the ROI was pretty good on our commercial stores - rent paid to build the sheds in circa 5 years so circa 20% and left with a valuable asset, stores porobanly a lot cheaper to build than they are today though and simple flat floors with pedestals nothing fancy

Storing other stuff pays far better though and is zero hassle located where we are so I when we do build more stores it’s unlikley they will get filled with grain

It's funny how you three or four want to be charging more & more and we want to be charging less & less.

We are aiming to be charging under £10 by the 2020 intake.

To be fair though you didn’t have to pay to build your store ! The renters did at buy in

 

[Woldgrain Storage]

True, the people who own our store paid to build it, with plenty of help from the EU.

The current £11 per tonne only needs to cover running the store, depreciation and haulage in to store.
