Dewing Grain Podcast

This week Dewing Grain goes international. Andrew, Ben and Webby are in Rotterdam for the international grain bourse, with a big thank you to CME for lending us their stand to record on. Andrew explains how cheaper energy prices in Europe are making the UK malting industry uncompetitive. The team then get into ethanol use in fuel, and touch on what this Super El Niño is likely to mean for the weather over the coming months. Hosted on Acast.

This week Andrew is back with Ben and Webby. They open by acknowledging that last week’s episode sounded a touch doom and gloom, so Webby comes armed with a positive story: China is looking to buy. There’s talk of the USDA possibly overpredicting US corn tonnages, before the team turn to Trump’s upcoming midterms, the budget and the Bourse. They close by looking at spring barley premiums and why they aren’t stacking up against maize. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week’s Bitesize, Andrew is joined by Webby to debrief on a pretty eventful couple of days. They run through the latest on the peace negotiations before turning to what farmers are likely to be drilling this season. Malting barley comes under the microscope — with profitability increasingly hard to justify, it’s becoming a tougher decision to grow. Andrew closes with a note of caution: there could be more pain to come on grain prices in the short term. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Andrew is joined by Ben and Webby, and things kick off in typical fashion with Ben and Webby taking jabs at each other. Ben also reports that his bike recently had a run-in with a pheasant — the pheasant started it. He then brings up the French freezer cyber-attack before Andrew takes the wheel with some good news — Dewing Grain’s Oct-Dec Pool will be over £200 per tonne. Andrew closes out with his thoughts on the unfair playing field UK farmers continue to face. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Joe and Webby take charge while Andrew is out on the road. They cover the upcoming tender, look ahead to the USDA report due out Friday, and touch on the Australian crop. They close out with the most important news of the week — Ben has set a new personal best on his cycle route around Aylsham. The bar has been raised. Hosted on Acast.
