wheat prices

[robsharpe 1]

just came back from our syndicate meeting tonight and got to thinking this season past wheat prices have rocketed here in the north east from about 98 per tonne to anywhere between 150 - 180 £ per tonne just wondered what prices have been like in other parts of the country i know they said it was a wet harvest with all the flooding etc but its some increase cheers rob

WELL MATE ,

 

IVE HEARD LOTS OF REASONS GIVEN AS TO WHY " ALL " GRAINS HAVE GONE UP ............. FROM CHINA BUYING UP,,,,, BIO FUEL ..TO .... WET HARVESTS ........

WHATEVER THE REASON THE FACTS ARE I WAS BUYING BARLEY LAST YEAR FOR £2 A 4 1/2 STONE SACK , WHEAT WAS £ 2.50 A SACK ............. THIS SEASON FROM THE ANIMAL SUPPLIERS THEY ARE WANTING £ 5 FOR A 20 KILO SACK

AT THE MOMENT IAM GETTING WHEAT FOR £ 4.50 A 30 KILO SACK ........

. CHEAPER THAN EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THIS AREA ,

 

BUT NOT CHEAP ENOUGH

 

ALL THE BEST

it just seems its gone crazy dont know what this year will bring hopefully a glut and prices may fall as the try to off load it ,only time will tell we bought 10 tonne last year ok at the begining but shot up later on ,it makes you want to buy a large amount then store but if the price falls your stuck with it cheers rob

we are paying a similar price, its all to do with australias crop of wheat failing, alot of syndicate and chicken farmers etc will go bust as a result too, the people i know in the trade reacon that it wont drop much next year either, alot of shoots will be putting a extra few quid per bird aswell

I know farmers who sold last years wheat on a contract......previous year it was 60 or so quid then they were offered a contract where they sell all their upcoming crop of wheat at something like quid........they were left devastated when the price started rising high.......seems a shame the way it panned out for them, lets hope its a fruitful year for them.

 

 

Dear aint it?Future markets have been signed for next year at average £170 a ton..Lol..Even the price of soggy spuds is going up for ducks.all animal feed gone up dog food and have you seen the price of cartridges it aint going to be cheap next season as just to add insult phessie poults ducks and partriges are all going to be higher.In the next couple of seasons we will look back on 2007-2008 as Halcyon Days

wouldn't worry about the price of wheat, it's the fooking fertilizer that's skyrocketed, due to china and america buying shiploads at a time, america is paying 50 dollar's extra on top of the selling price just to get it, So farmers buy now as it's taking a price hike again soon.......almost up 50% so far on last years prices here......

Our small pheasant syndicate prices have gone up by £50 thats the down side.

The up side is that loads of farmers have/are gona be planting wheat and similar to try and cash in so pigeon shooting will be good (hopefuly)
