Dewing Grain Podcast

In this week’s episode, Josh, Ben & Webby reflect on their recent trip to Poland for the Annual International Commodities Exchange in Warsaw. The group discusses mixing with multinational businesses as an independent Norfolk grain trader, and how they felt bearish after discovering that the demand surrounding feed grains and animal feed consumption was close to non-existent!

Market Report w/c Monday 23rd October. In this week’s market report, Josh discusses how the market has done next to nothing for the last 2 weeks, with the Dewing Grain team not anticipating any news whatsoever. In terms of global news, what has happened in Israel has caused oil markets to rally. Despite Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak visiting Israel to attempt to calm tensions, there are worries that the situation is very far from being resolved anytime soon.

We are looking forward to our Halloween Dewing Grain Walk and talk on the 31st of October. The What3Words to find the location are ‘partners.perform.relief’. We hope to see familiar and new faces!

Market Report w/c Monday 16th October. In this week’s market report, the futures are trading at a too-high level against the physical market and there is a total lack of engagement from UK Farmers and the markets still going down.

With Thursday’s release of the USDA’s WASDE report, the European market reached a neutral to bullish conclusion, lowering its estimations of world stocks of wheat, corn, and soybeans for the 23/24 marketing year.

In this week’s episode, Andrew sits down with the latest and newest member of the Dewing Grain team; Tom Pegg, who has been recruited for farm buying. Tom talks about his experience in the industry so far and how he came to work for Dewing Grain.

Market Report w/c Monday 9th October. In this week’s market report, Andrew talks about how last week's oil seed rape market declined and how he was advised by his experts that it could be due to macroeconomic problems such as people withdrawing their money because of the cost of living crisis getting people to invest less. Right now this is the optimum time for planting wheat and certainly any cereal planting which has been happening across the UK with perfect weather conditions. Which means the farming community are working ungodly hours.

The next Dewing Grain walk is on Tuesday 31st October at 2pm, the location is TBC. No tricks just treats.

**After recording this podcast, Tom got his first deal bought 58 tonnes of wheat.

Market Report w/c Monday 4th September. It has been an extremely busy week at Dewing Grain, with the end of the harvest keeping the team on their feet. Our predictions are that the oil seed rape market is going to go up, feed wheat just keeps coming at us as there aren’t any sellers and the moulting barley market is very exciting with Norfolk samples being as good as anywhere in Norfolk. Listen now to find out what other predictions Andrew has to make.

Shifting our attention to international markets, India's recent ban on sugar exports comes as a surprise. It seems that India has faced more significant challenges than they've let on, pushing for lower food prices domestically but inadvertently raising them abroad.

Market Report w/c Monday 21st August. This week’s market report covers the damp mood within the grain market, with many difficult questions arising such as whether to sell to a maltster or sell for export by boat.
