Spring seed price

[Woody j]

I have a few hundred tons of planet in my shed,that was tested in spec for malting at harvest, Frontier ain't interested, could I sell it as soil conditioner ,or could I give it away in return for a "donation" to a charity of my choice?, nonsense aside,any spring bean seed prices?

Sell it as feed then it’s up to the buyer to use it as he likes

Used to be an advert in the Agriculture classifieds column of The Dundee Courier every year around about now.

Feed barley for sale. Good germination

Even if the royalties are paid? I knew it wasn’t straightforward hence why I was asking

Hi! Plant variety rights are granted for 25 years. A variety will be eligible for payment for the duration of that 25 years, unless the rights are terminated by the breeder. Hope that helps.

Farm to farm as feed is fine, what they do with it is up to them. Cash payment is always good too, provides betting money at Cheltenham races. Have you actually seen what the minimum germ specs are for seed??? Probably better you don't know if you're paying a hoof load of cash for cert seed

Think its something like 65%

 

[David.]

That's theft.

 

[Great In Grass]

Mid 80's I think, less than that it's not worth sowing.

 

[Sandy]

It’s either 84 or 86% in a normal year but if they are short of seed it may be altered

I thought it was 80%

 

[Mixedupfarmer]

85% I thought?

[Devil's advocate]

My spring barley in the silo is discoloured but 99% germination.

I'm using it, but not selling any.
