The husk comes off the grain. The Maltings don’t like it because the grain will germinate at different rates during the malting.What is skinning please?

Not sure what the answer is. At a meeting last year and they asked people to come up with alternatives and nothing really seemed to stack up. Majority of people wanted futures. I think the 50/50 was after an agreement with the NFU?Thats the trouble we can lay off risk using futures contracts but you still want no obligation to supply, can't have it both ways. If I sell wheat for may 21 I have to supply, ok if I'm short it might be wheat harvested in August.
Ideally they want a good price with no comeback if quality is poor, the other side wants it cheap cheap cheapNot sure what the answer is.

Was min £165/t contracts 2019. Did a fair bit on them.Thats the trouble we can lay off risk using futures contracts but you still want no obligation to supply, can't have it both ways. If I sell wheat for may 21 I have to supply, ok if I'm short it might be wheat harvested in August.

Wonder if any other industries send products away with no clue what they'll get for it.Also feckin sick of 'contracts' with TBA pricing after you have delivered the bloody stuff.
Frontier were doing 80:20 contracts. Doubtful the nfu had anything to do with it.Not sure what the answer is.

I guess it’s two different risks. Price and quality. Linking to futures mitigates one. The quality is harder. Should really be an insurance market, but I imagine it is far to niche.Thats the trouble we can lay off risk using futures contracts but you still want no obligation to supply, can't have it both ways.
