Grain prices

A few years ago, l forgot to put the stone trap panel on before starting the WB - cut all the WB before discovering it when l went to clean it out 🫣
Thankfully it had filled up with straw and grain - there was no sign of spilled grain - try doing it! 🤷‍♂️😅

Did the same. Winter barley is the most likely crop as the stone trap will be left open over winter.
No grain seemed to spill as it went through thr drum so quickly.

There was a lad who used to be up to all sorts of dodgy things was cutting corn and the combine broke down. Brought it up to the yard and things werent good. He thought there must be an easier way and he remembered how things happened to other gear that was insured and he got compensation.
So he brought the combine back down the field and in a terrible stroke of misfortune the combine went on fire. So the assesor came out and was examining the combine and asked was the combine in use when it went on fire.
Of course it was said yerman, sure cant you see it was in the swarth cutting.
Thats amazing said the assesor, its the first combine ive seen to thresh corn with no drum in it.

A good friend of mine used to scrap/break tractors and diggers.
He once bought an insurance write off, rubber tyred digger, which had been badly burned in a fire.
He was able to salvage some useable parts, from the machine in question.
However, it sat in his yard for a long time, after that, so thinking he wouldn't get sale for anything else off it, he decided to cut it up for scrap.
He had it buried in a heap of scrap, awaiting collection, when out of the blue, someone rang him looking for an engine crankshaft.
He was just about to say that he hadn't one, when he thought of the aforementioned burnt digger, which would have originally been fitted with the same model of engine and crankshaft, as the man on the phone was looking for. He remembered the engine on the burnt digger was complete and the crank shaft may have been salvageable. Thinking he might have a potential sale, he told the man on the phone, he would ring him back.
He went fishing in his scrap pile and dragged out the carcass of the burnt digger. Everything was looking good until he went investigating further, the burnt engine had no crank shaft!
The penny then dropped. Whoever owned the digger, must have had a problem with the crankshaft, and couldn't get a new one, or didn't want to spend a fortune on a new one, so staged a fire with the machine in question. My breaker friend said when he collected it, was given the impression that it had gone on fire outside it's owner's dwelling house, when it was being driven, but the fire got a hold on it so quickly, it had to be pushed/dragged off the road, out of the way, which was where my friend picked it up.

We had a Ford 7600 burn and the man collecting it said that it had its work done. I know of a combine that burned in Ireland and it was exported to England and it burned again .

That’s milling wheat prices, not feed prices.

€36+ spread between maize and milling wheat prices today. Never seen it before.
Traders starting to ring around asking about how bad grain maize is looking…
