if you where paying £130 per ton last year i would look for a new supplier try the farm direct the grain merchant is the middle man .

I spoke to a bloke from the farm yesterday he reckons the early wheat prices will be high owing a lot to do with the lack of wheat coming from russia with all the fires etc then later prices should fall a bit,its a gamble waiting for prices to fall I have enough pellets to do me then a ton and a half of wheat left ,then like others i may have to ask for more money for feed,christ that'l go doon well.

Keep smiling Hoolit

sorry did'nt read your post properly .But the farm may be contracted to a merchant at that price the current price for feed wheat is £137. this time last rear approx £90 .so if you shop around the few arables you have you may come up with an independent and a good price.for the market price go to www.fwi.co.uk. if you know the market price then it helps when haggling.ps click on prices and trends then markets at a glance hope this helps a.t.b.
