[QUOTE="robbie, post: 7105248, member: 7037"] We had similar, we had a 3 year rolling contract first year fine second year we fixed a price at 185 but come harvest the open market price had dropped to about 130, tested at harvest and I then requested re testing pre movement in october and both tests came back as perfect quality once theyd got it they found every fault going, skinning,screenings, moisture you name it and the price they paid was..... suprise suprise 130!!!!! The next year was the last year but I was a God awful harvest (2012 I think) and our contract was 135 by harvest it was 185+ but like many others we'd suffered and had a short fall in the tonnage by about a lorry load, they demanded we pay or supply them with a load the next year for free. It was and will be the last malting barley they have off us, I'll grow feed and fudge them, I'll happily Iive without a paltry premium for a bit of barley. [/QUOTE]
