I haven’t heard a peep good, bad or indifferent, about recent grain price moves from anyone – merchants, farm organisations, co-ops. Am I missing something or has the sunshine quietened farmers until the winter harvest is actually complete?
At less than €200/tonne it’s hard to see any profit on rented tillage ground. We know over 40% of grain is grown in leased/rented ground.
Align market price with the recent nitrates move and it paints a very depressing picture for tillage farmers.
