And then some.
I would take orders to Devon for £80 ton wheat.

A couple of people told me today that they have been quoted between £90/100 for Barley delivered into Devon.

One estate in herefordshire is selling its 668 acres of wheat off in 120x90 6 string krone bales this year through agents Sunderlands . Fixed price £80/t , no bale chasing either, they will be stacked handy for loading.

Yes I had that letter this morning.
The contractor has an on board weighing system, so I'm told, and he knows exactly what he's pushing out. .
I can't make my mind up if its a good deal or not .

If they sit on their hands it too could be 80 a week into SB baling.

What do spring crops look like upwards?

Around here many are very short height wise at the moment.

Both Wheat and Barley averaged £111 acre according to the market report posted on FB.

Wheat trade was certainly stronger than Barley but i imagine that is because last year WB yields were a lot poorer than Wheat when cut as the Barley broke up a lot when it went thru the combine.

Local contractor who does some straw dealing as well was paying well into the £100's/acre for WB.

You believe an auctioneer , surprised they bothered with the average, its usually the top price.
That means barley was only up £7/ac,

I came by a field the top of Amesbury by A303 of SB that had been hit by the heavy rain today and was lodged over in places.

this a week ago. Straw yield will be good if it’s still standing. Only had 65kg of N plus digestate at drilling and sheep over prior winter.

It’s jumped more since the picture.

there quite a few acres around here that wont see a combine because its that short you couldnt get it in.

Would that be on heavy or lightish ground?

Some wetter fields seem quite short compared to lighter ground this year.

 

[jondear]

Spring corn never likes heavy ground goes in late and drys out and cracks.
Oh and this year had 6 inches of rain on it!

I dont think its half bad tbh as long as its baled up dry and with the sun out. Fair saving pulling up at a big stack rather than trundling around the field for them too.
