Was at a frontier meeting on Monday night and they showed a graph of spring seed sales for the last few years and the 2019/20 winter seed sales were high each week but never topped 500 ton for any one week, last week they took 4000 ton of orders in the one week, less seed crops, and not good yields and poor harvesting conditions it’s a perfect storm because of these storms!

No Spring wheat available here its already sold out. Spring Barley is 800 euros a T plus for unknown varieties and Spring Oats are 1250 euros a T if you can find any but who would at that price. Its mad.
I'll arrange collectionI’ve got 35t spring barley in store…

At those prices you either home save or bung it into sfi. I’m going for legume fallow and have already ordered the seed.
You can have it £300/t Ex store

In my immediate area not much has been drilled. Quite a bit of grain maize is still not cut. I have sunflowers still to combine but have at least got some cereals in after oilseed rape and beans (which are minority crops here). Most people who have crops still out there will just be happy to finish combining by Christmas.
Nationally according to the french press around a quarter of french cereal farmers have yet to drill any cereals at all.

Most people start in the second half of October. We have had almost 400mm of rain since the 18th October.

Funny you say that. A french neighbour told me it was too dry when he saw us drilling and he was waiting for rain. Someone normally says it to us every year.
How much is legume fallow seed? Just looking at doing the same
