Royalty on wheat

[dirty harry]

just wandering about royalty on wheat seed, I’ve paid my osr per ha, just wandering if you can do it with wheat aswell? It says you can on BSPB claim form wheat @£9 something/ha ?
This sounds a lot better value than £50/ton? Cheers dh

It depends on your seed rate, then it's a question of doing the maths. For a December seed rate of 250 kg/ha you're better off paying per ha. For an early September seed rate of 110 kg/ha you're better off per tonne.

Once seed rate exceeds 185 kg/ha it is cheaper on per hectare basis. Rule of thumb.

I've already asked BSPB if you have to pay royalties for a failed crop, and if it was sown but not grown you still need to pay.

Yes you can. If a dressing contractor dresses your corn then they usually collect the royalty on bspb behalf per ton if you dress it yourself or get it off the heap then you pay bspb direct per ha drilled. You can also specify when the dressers come in that you'll pay direct per ha.

Theres not that much difference either way unless your using a very high or low seed rate. At 185 kg/ha per ha the per ha cost would equate to 47 odd quid a ton as opposed to £50 per ton.

Thanks for replies, I’ll pay per ha then as very rarely drill @ much less than 220kg/ha here, cheers dh
