Seed prices .

[Barry]

If thats the case not much point growinf for seed if you take a pee poor movement price,have a strict rotation,hand roueging,expensive c1 seed farmer takes all the risk,easier to leave in the barn and take a £20 rise in the market.You merchants are laughing all the way to the bank.
And to cap it all you struggle with delivering it to farm on time

As a seed grower you can fix your base price any time you want up until harvest. If your crop doesn't move then you should get a rebate on the C1 price to bring it back down to a normal C2 price. I accept you cannot sit on the grain and market it after harvest. But there again it doesn't always go up post harvest.

But it doesn't suit everyone. Wheat seed growers are easier to find than barley, oats or pulses (though not the case this year for pulses) so premiums are higher on those crops.
