November 2020 Wheat £150/T

[SilliamWhale]

it will be a pee take !
Why on earth would anyone commit to buy anything without knowing the price ? !!! Crazy !

Well I can always cancel and go quote elsewhere! I have a reasonable relationship with my supplier so and I expect to be on the lowest rung of charges for seed because I booked early. We shall see! If I had some FSS about I'd use it but I don't

 

[SilliamWhale]

Ok then - what prices have people secured their spring cereals seeds for then? £450 ton Barley?

 

[yellow belly]

The field in the op will be low yielding for more than one season
poor late crops breed black grass worse than early planted crop with a good preem

why can’t they just tell you the price ?

 

[SilliamWhale]

why can’t they just tell you the price ?

I tell you what happened. It was on the phone back in october i booked my tonnage then but rep didnt have a price. He told me they price in tranches and if I booked now ie (oct) would get the price for then but i didnt chase it up. Is it true they price in tranches?

I will chase it up and let you know how it ended up.

What should we be paying for October booked spring barley? £400?

of course they know the price ! Do you seriously think they buy it in unpriced ?

Don’t fall for the bull crap ! “Good relationship”. “Friend” ............ everyone thinks that right up to the point they find out the level of pee taking

There is one simple reason they haven’t told you a price I’m afraid

my spring wheat cost £413, which I was happy with

 

[Crabtree]

Ok then - what prices have people secured their spring cereals seeds for then? £450 ton Barley?

£367/t for half ton of planet to grow on, rest home saved
£367/t for elyann s.oats
£360/t for skyfall no spd to drill up to early March, if no more ww gets drilled before. If it's not used will go back to merchant for autumn 20.

 

[shakerator]

Surely new crop seed will be severely restricted for autumn 20!

 

[Grass And Grain]

I cant understand why farmers buy their inputs
from the companies that are the main importers
of wheat and oilseeds.
Why give your money to those that are costing you?
No one has yet given a sensible answer to this.

I like the idea.

 

[Clive]

my spring wheat cost £413, which I was happy with

as long as you know the price and are happy

A merchant pretending he doesn’t know the price is just bull sh!t that as a customer would offend me

 

[teslacoils]

Yes. I am holding over 30t of nice clean wheat for autumn 2020 sowing.

 

[lloyd]

I like the idea.

They are simply our competitors .
Farmers could get a much better price for
their produce if we all worked together.

 

[Phil P]

Fortunately I have a 30t bin of spring barley which I’ll be getting tested and pulling out of come spring ?

 

[Jon 3085]

£415.00 spd Planet.

 

[Wombat]

Laureate at £450 3 weeks ago

Spring wheat I couldn’t get a price on and no availability from 3 merchants the week before last

£367/t for half ton of planet to grow on, rest home saved
£367/t for elyann s.oats

Skyfall "no spd"?

 

[DrWazzock]

Same here. It will be put through the cleaner with the wind set high and shovelled into the drill. The livestock will eat the screenings.

 

[Crabtree]

Skyfall "no spd"?

ie No seed treatment. Disease levels present do not require it, and will make it easier to keep seed to next autumn if required. Skyfall may be a better bet than imported spring wheat at £500/ton ?

I did think as much, though clarified to check.

I paid £370 for some Beret Gold treated Skyfall seed recently. The dressing itself is relatively cheap it would appear.
