Ok so our landlord has just put up a new grain store/machinery shed, just waiting for roller door to be fitted.
We currently grow grain to crimp and feed our own stock but with operating a mixed system we seam to achieve very pleasing organic yeilds.
Is it worth becoming farm assured to sell grain, let's say 30-60t of barley? Has anyone links to future pricing for organics? Our dairy cows are not turning much profit on very poor organic milk price while cull prices are high, so could drop herd numbers back and out in an extra 30 acres of cereals.
We have all our own kit, only ever done dried corn for our following seasons seed, but usually get it 13/14% and stores ok so guess the same for dried cereals.
