Wheat into orbit

The grain merchants make their money from the small margin they take it is irrelevant to them that it is 100 or 250
any that take a risk by selling before buying or buying before selling should be kept at arms length because if they get it wrong they eventually leave farmers unpaid

we have to make hay when the weather is right

No, they have a vested interest in keeping farmers depressed and ready to sell ata bad price

 

[yellow belly]

No, they have a vested interest in keeping farmers depressed and ready to sell ata bad price

They rely on volume so want farmers to grow crops
at current rate of land use change there will be a lot less grain grown in the uk
once We are all conservation farmers we will not need at grain merchants

We are definitely in for the most turbulent 12months?/18months?/24months?/5years?/decade? (Retrospectively delete as appropriate!) of our farming careers! As you say buckle up, we 'ain't seen nothing yet!

If we play our cards right, this year and next year could be the time for us to really put the boot in on stuff like the idiot manure rules, and carbon. For a start, I'm not being made to feel bad about using fert from a factory being kept open by the govt to get it to make co2. Nor by increasing soil om by applying fym in September.

Seismic shift in cereal prices again. Keep an eye on bread prices and let's link wheat to the price of a loaf of hovis. If wheat value in s loaf goes up 2p and they sell it for 5p more, that's 3p up for grabs for us.

This time next year, Rodney.

Where in reality, perceived food shortages will get the governments to subsidise factories to make ‘fake ‘ foods in some form of bio digester. Soylent green for tea everybody?

Go on enlighten us how fake food can be created.

I mean even if you dress soya up as meat, someone grew it & sold it. It did come out of the ground.

I can't remember when the article appeared but I remember it being stated that "Human Poo" can be eaten again due to the unprocessed calories.

So when I heard of this franken food being grown in factories - this was my first assumption, using human poop as the source of fertiliser being eaten by bacteria which is then processed into said goop.

It should all go into ad plants so they can stop putting so much maize in

So same proportion for £250 a ton AN is £63.

That would cost 0.315 of a tonne of Wheat at £200

So using £650/t AN as a factor the price of Wheat should be £523/t

Stupid comparison, fertiliser is not the only input

 

[glasshouse]

Stupid comparison, fertiliser is not the only input

Its the most important

 

[Baling Hay]

Its the most important

Is it, I thought soil and weather would be more important?

Anyway, natural gas down 13% today and back below £2 per therm (hit £4 in last 3 weeks!) so hopefully fertiliser prices will start to soften soon.........
