They are having a laugh are they
Got a forward price for barley today for harvest 2014, 135 euro at 20% moisture. Did not sign up at that price.
Don't depress me....
are you the man down around your neck of the woods thats driving up the con acre price?
before xmas I was thinking we were close to the bottom price wise for energy grains. Now im thinking differently. I think we will see under $4 a bushel for corn in the US, which will drag on price downwards. what is the market in Ireland size wise for high quality wheat and barley. Even as a % terms of total output? 10 - 20%?
It would make more sense than expensive Con acre .for anyone that thinks that price of 145 is crap, why not buy some?
It will be interesting to see what prices will do in the next few weeks with the bad weather in the states which is pushing down near Texas now ...
Snow is seen as a good thing in a lot of areas as it guarantees that there will be moisture in the soil for establishing spring crops
I just saw in the fj that they reckon fertilizer prices will be about the same as last year so much fit the suposed drop in price

Heard this cold snap in the states might do some damage to the crops and knock them back a lot. I heard that prices later on this year for grain shouldn't be as bad as it might look?. Probably 3rd hand information so how good or bad it is is anyone's guess.
If grain keeps falling is it even worth sowing land with no Sfp on it.done some rough numbers on SB this morning was offered 30 ac.at 3 ton and 100/ac for the land I'd stand to lose €37/ac for grain at €140/ton I think il leave it in the shed and admire my fendt.
