I would be if I’d managed that!I've averaged £257 this season could have been better, but was happy on day I sold
That will be a better average than 90 percent of farmers.I've averaged £257 this season could have been better, but was happy on day I sold
In some ways yes, the prices look poor against spot. However the vast majority of crop in this country was sold well below 'spot' values. There are plenty who sold a large chunk at £160 or below because they thought it was a good price. Frontier traders did the same I assume, either that or they are profiteering on a massive scale.I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, pools will work on a falling marked, but will never ever work on a rising market.

All sold now. Wheat 260 barley 295 osr 450
Bought fert for this season and next season before price rose.
Chicken feed contract until apr 23, at pre putin price.
harvest 22 is not yet in the barn, ive known years when looking at crops in may and the eventual yield and cost of harvesting are a totally different thing . Today im looking at my crops that a couple of weeks ago looked like record breakers and now need some rain soon as potential is slipping and thats without knowing what the weather will do once ripe . Which is the main reason I have for not selling physical grain forward yet.The available harvest price more than covers production costs for the 22 harvest. We probably should be selling a fair chunk and locking into probably the best margins we have ever had but like others I think it could go higher still so am holding for now. Greed?
Same here, my average was about 195 IIRC but cheaper fertIm afraid my 2021 wheat sales averaged about £225. But almost all the fert was bought at £281 so although I committed too much, too early I’m satisfied enough
Cash flow requirements dictates sales here
Can’t quite remember the Range but something like between about £160 - £317
Frontier, Jan. - March £185 !!

Open-field jan-mar pool done £2 shy of that so the long pool should be better I'd have thought.Any more pool results in?
Should be annual/long pool results about now?
What would you predict a Gp1 WW pool to return?
£260/t??

Will depend on the marketing period, certainly should be closer to £300 than £250.If they haven’t achieved £300 for group 1 when the top price available I’ve seen was £373 then something is very wrong. So many farmers don’t use pools because of these massive cock ups.
