What do we think the prospect for milling spec oats, wheat futures minus ten contract, or free buy likely to be best payer this harvest?

You'll be on to a sure fire winner either way, David.

It's next year that's really bugging me.

Everybody wanting to grow much less of the WOSR, apparently, and many more of the oats, so all the big millers expecting Christmas 2021 to come sometime in August.

Only upside seems to be that, due to the appalling weather last autumn, WO seed is in very short supply.

And this is before any of the big merchants tumble to the fact that most WO seed crops, far from ripening now, are getting greener by the day due to the unusually big secondary growth problem.

Agreed all. i just think there might be more upside to the freebuy ones, wheat futures seem unlikely to go loopy, but decent oats ought to be short enough to make supply tight.

Mr Leadbetter’s New Holland combine with 41in header started rolling yesterday (20 July) and the wheat was coming off at 14.5% moisture, with a specific weight of 74-75kg/hl, which he says is a bit low.

further down the article @Wombat posted, antidote to these 40ft headerso_O

Only one field of wb this year drilled the day before it started raining didn't use the drill again till end of January. Cut on Friday 14.2 to 15.5% over a weighbridge today and a very nice surprise it's done 4.2 ton an acre 3/4 a ton an acre better than last year , nothing makes sense anymore! Straw was still green so baler not been in yet. I wouldn't know where there is another wb field in the area so not popular here.

What utter rubbish!!! I like how they state everyone's header size, obviously if you've got an 18ft header you're a crap farmer and only likely to get 5t/ha if you're lucky!
Glad I dont read the utter drivel, is it any way related to the BBC? Seem to spout as much sh!t as them
