Dewing Grain Podcast

This week is a bitesize episode and Andrew joins us to talk us through his opinions on how the market is looking at the moment and where he sees it going. Oilseed rape has finally moved its way up, alongside Feed barley for June. Malting barley crop is late for planting and all we are praying for is the weather is on our side for the next upcoming months.

Sadly, there will be no Dewing Grain Walk this month, but we will keep you updated for the next one coming in April and hopefully, we will be walking in the sunshine!
