Spring cropping seed prices!!

[TelesnaAg]

It seems like the risk mitigation stratergy for food is wrong the world over...the inputs trend up...the commodity trends down against cpi?

The one thing you need to make sure is in abundance is seed.

Ant..

I couldn't get a bid on new crop malting unless for a domestic consumer. I'm still bullish to malting barley & am ever hopeful that the traders will find a way through the mess that is currently Brexit. There's a massive continental demand for UK malting barley, always has been & always will be.

What is domestic demand like? Apparently we are running short of people who could run a pee up in a brewery.

2 tonne LG Diablo, spd, Feb del, £480/tonne bought 4 weeks ago.

 

[Spencer]

Canyon, spd Feb del, £480 as well.

 

[Chae1]

Sounds cheaper than up here.

 

[Happy]

£500/T for c2 laureate.

Jeez.
Fair old price that with contracts just the same as last year at £20 over wheat futures.

Glad all mine bar 1t is going to be home saved Laureate.
Wonder how much of a discount Concerto seed will be? Should be plenty of it about compared to demand I’d have thought.

 

[Chae1]

When I complained He said they were paying farmer £240/t as contracts set at £20/t above malting barley spot price.

I've only bought diablo got plenty laureate.
Think the concerto will go through the cows.

I've been advised not to lock anything in at £20/t above wheat futures as spot price will be higher. I agree. No surplus carryover from 2018 and a lot of winter crops gone in the ground. Milling oats currently trading at £200/t so they look like attractive alternative to malting barley. I'll be putting in more.

It doesn’t cost £260t to give it a squirt of seed dressing and pay royalties!

 

[Chae1]

They've to pay £100/t royalties, haul it both ways and dress it, and unlike farmers need a 20% mark up!

I'm glad I won't be buying much. Farm saveds a no brainer. Not going to bother dressing ours this year after reading threads on here. Good way to use up high N fields they didn't want at harvest.

S Barley is £51/t royalties or £9.60/ha

Think it's a different rate for merchants. They've to have seed inspected etc.

£30/t above wheat futures for spring oats for seed. Be tempted if I'd storage.

If you’ve got to buy new seed it’s not enough

 

[Northdowns Martin]

Laureate C2 £395/t
Planet C2 £375/t.

Prices on here 12 months ago. Quoted today Planet £450 and by the way its in short supply!

 

[neilo]

Quoted £465 for Planet (SPD) today.
As above, said they’d likely run out soon, but had a supply secured from across the channel, presumably need delivering before the end of March then.

 

[limestone brash]

I’ve some laureate- once grown - a part load left over so will likely go for feed

 

[Iben]

Was quoted £480 for laureate spd and £510 for diablo spd the other day.
