Feed wheat up £6/tonne this morning, now over £160/tonne for September and rising. Hope you all bought dairy feed forward till end of April 08 at a fixed price. On todays prices dairy cake would be around £185-£195/tonne , fortunately bought early here at a good price.

…
read in the paper that the world has a shortfall of 7 million tons of wheat this year.
those growing it here can expect to get at least 300 a ton.Our grain mix is currently $372 pus gst and our heifer ration is about 12 a ton cheaper.
I saw new seasons rolls of hayllege advertised at $283/t and I know of several farmers who are about to rolll their grain crops up or graze them because currently we have NO soil moisture.I would say a lot of farmers are starting to panic

Two questions, Will.
Do you think your merchant can afford to honour the price you've bought at?
Could you afford to sue them if they didn't honour it?

Yes .. there was one hell of a lot of wheat sold forward at sub £100/t it looked a good deal at the time for a lot of arable farmers and as the feed price forms part of the contract I would say they are legally obliged to honour it

Re: Feed prices
World wheat stocks are apparently at their lowest since the late 1940's when rationing was still in place from the war.
