Market report

Markets are quiet and feed mills will only buy on the back of a feed order. We still feel there will be some wheat and barley buying interest between June and harvest, so please do let us know if you have old crop cereals left to sell.
Conventional markets remain weak which has led to some negative sentiment creeping into our marketplace, but organic premiums still appear to be robust – if you can get a bid!
Wider International trade has obviously been impacted by tariff, no tariff, or reduced tariff rates, no market likes uncertainty. It is challenging to keep up with this but, as I write this in 25 degrees, drought is certainly a more immediate concern for UK agriculture, and clearly organic spring cropping is extremely vulnerable to this, even heavy land in the East is looking parched. I imagine pastures are also starting to struggle. New crop wheat indicational values look to be circa £280 currently.
