And say you will be happy if its the cheapest you sell... never works for me.It always hurts less to load out at spot value on the day, having not sold higher, than it does to load out a forward sale at £30 under spot.
Sadly not done pool's in 20 years , a grain merchant trying to do his job can make more of a bol locks than any farmer .anyone got the results for the mid/early pools re 21 harvest yet
Seen grainco figures, not that I’m in it, but the mid had a 2 in front, the early did not, and they claim they are top doganyone got the results for the mid/early pools re 21 harvest yet
What is the marketing period for the early pool? Presumably that was last winter/early spring?Seen grainco figures, not that I’m in it, but the mid had a 2 in front, the early did not, and they claim they are top dog
Sorry, didn’t take much notice of the periods, but I guess they will be similar to other pools.What is the marketing period for the early pool? Presumably that was last winter/early spring?
That’s quite important factor when lambasting an early pool for not having a 2 infront of it!Sorry, didn’t take much notice of the periods, but I guess they will be similar to other pools.
Err, where did I lambast them ?That’s quite important factor when lambasting an early pool for not having a 2 infront of it!
That’s how it came across to me, apologies. I thought you meant they claimed to be too dog so should have a 2 in front of their early pool.Err, where did I lambast them ?
I was at a presentation given by Grainco, those were figures presented, early and mid were the terms used, they did how ever claim their figures were better than their competitors, their words not mine.
im in grainco pool and consider I am well served. If id been marketing my own mid pool from this time last year doubt id have managed plus 200 but,on committing a few load last feb to give me the breathing space to not sell any on my own till after harvest is well in front so atm our average 21 harvest fw sales are comfortably above 220 and i have to ask those folk who sold forward last spring have they done better than 200 on their forward pre harvest sales average , Looking back on what folks did on here i doubt it but its all a risk what ever we doSeen grainco figures, not that I’m in it, but the mid had a 2 in front, the early did not, and they claim they are top dog
grainco did ok and have done for years possibly something to do with they are not a multi nationalI hear Grainco did really well. Is it true one of the “nationals” did £170
This is exactly my experience re, grainco, just rock up with just a few minutes warning.I quit grainco pools as they deemed to think theyhad license to send a wagon for loading anytime they wanted. Maybe 20 mins notice if they were organised.
Price wise they did pretty well, I would give them 20% of harvest tonnage, partly for the early payment, partly in the hope that we cant both sell on the wrong day.
They came and sat at my table promising the haulage notice issue was sorted so i tried them again. It was worse
well they are not going to report failure if below 200,Had a brief hunt on the interweb and can't find any harvest or ond pool results published.
