Market report

The old crop market is going out quietly, with a few parcels of wheat still looking for elusive buyers for pre harvest collection.
There has been some modest demand for immediate barley and milling oats, but with an early harvest virtually upon us, we feel this will evaporate quickly.
Organic premiums remain historically high over a particularly weak conventional trade environment, with low prices keeping sellers away as harvest is imminent, and with yields uncertain. As we go to press a third ‘heatbomb’ for a few days is forecast over here in the East of the country, but we are always aware this is never a nationwide feature and some areas report too much rain.
Buyers still buy hand to mouth, and any forward business seems only to be done on the back of a feed order.
Overseas sellers have yet to appear, but Black Sea origin offers are not away, and will probably set the tone going forward.
If you will have grain to sell from harvest, do please let us know and we will send over freepost sample bags.
