Price of oats

[Becs]

Just been quoted £298 per ton of whole oats from MVF - is this right? At that price my lambs will be staying on creep !!!

 

[Sandpit Farm]

That is ridiculous. I was paying £130/tonne for oats from a local farmer pre lambing. You can buy oat-based high protein feed from Berrystocks for under £200/tonne.

 

[Brisel]

What is the ex farm price of feed oats for an arable farmer growing them? I'll bet it's less than half that! Any arable growers in your area?

Edit: Sandpit beat me to it!

 

[Sandpit Farm]

Tbh if you aren't that far from Daventry, it would be worth driving to Berrystocks as they do tonne and half tonne bulk bags and they will pop them on your trailer for you.

Southwest price ex-farm MILLING oat price is £106 ,so feed oats would be slightly less!

was offered £110 harvest yesterday ! where are you ? I have a part load in store from last harvest still

Get friendly with local arable farmer, and ask them to put you a few bags aside when cleaning them for next seasons seed.

How much would haulage be to bridgnorth? I'm keen.

 

[Hampton]

I'm out of oats, but can't buy them. The price is so poor most farmers round here don't think its worth the bother to sell the last ten tonnes or so, so are keeping it until harvest

Got a few here you are welcome to.

not a lot to Bridgenorth, I could get a quote if your interested, thats August delivery though, I only have a few tonnes of the 2014 crop left in store (not a truck load)

Bit far, but thanks anyway.

I'll have my own by then, but I am changing my heifer ration to include more oats so will want some more. I'll let you know nearer the time, but I am definitely interested. Thanks.

feed merchants that try to rip folk off should be avoided as you can be assured their other products for sale are similarly overpriced

 

[Becs]

??? Have I been a right twit and enquirer about the wrong sort of oats? I did say it was to feed to lambs

No, I think it was a sarcastic comment directed at the price you were quoted considering talk of ex farm prices of little more than £100/t.

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Got @30t spare here :/

 

[pellow]

it's possible that is seed oats price?

 

[Henery]

Will happily deliver whole oats to you at £250 per t, rolled another tenner, how many do you want ?
Got some left, can arrange haulage.
