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.

Andrew and Harry discuss the value of Harry beginning his grain trade career in the store following University,   often having to deal with difficult situations such as wet harvests and residue-clogged extraction fans. This will be a good grounding to him eventually becoming an expert on all things grain.

Market Report for w/c Monday 14th of August. This week’s market report discusses Andrew’s advice and predictions for oil seed, barley, wheat, and more. The weather has been challenging this harvest, especially in the North, and with the end of the harvest near, there are concerns for certain crops.

The European crop tour proves to be worthwhile for the Dewing Grain crew, with some Scandinavian maltsters beginning the tour in high spirits and leaving feeling deflated. The tour included spending half an hour at each farm, seeing different crops every day which does not look promising compared to UK crops.

The conversation swiftly moves over to discussions surrounding global affairs with India keeping their markets closed and still not exporting rice, the country also wants to buy 9 million tonnes of Russian wheat!

Market report week for w/c Monday 7th of August. In this week’s market report, Andrew tries to be positive considering the bad weather. He discusses his observations about the quality of crops they’ve had coming into their Cantley and Alysham stores. 

Winter malting Barley has been good in general, 80% of the crop in Norfolk.

With the damper weather in the rest of the world, especially the states, the crops look like they are going to be bigger over there so the moo­­­­­­d in the states is low. it's gone below $5 on the Corn on the deck, corn in Chicago so the sentiment is slightly bearish.

Russia is doing a deal potentially with India for 9 Million tonnes so Modi can have low food prices when it comes to his election.

There’s grain moving out of Ukraine., they’ve got a better yield than what they thought. Which is going to seep into Europe and undermine the market like it did last year.

Market Report for w/c Monday 31st July. In this week’s market report, Andrew discusses the start of August, which is usually known to be the lovely sunny month where everyone gets everything finished, but not this year. The rainy weather is making a lot of people's lives difficult, with many people combining because the forecast projected for the week ahead is not looking promising. Tune in to find out Andrew’s concerns for this year’s harvest and what advice he has to give to farmers in these difficult times.

In terms of the market, there is not a lot happening. Temperatures across the globe are still soaring, but the UK is not expecting much sun anytime soon! Tune in to find out the current rates for malting barley, rape seed, wheat and more…

In the farm chat, Andrew is joined by Ben & Webby to discuss all things grain and agriculture, with the wet harvest causing issues as outside stores cannot cope with the volume of wet grain. The conversation swiftly moves onto talks of hair transplants, teeth whitening and a recent music festival that Andrew attended; Latitude!

Tune in to hear his story about how he became an accountant, the way that technology has transformed the industry, and even some shocking revelations including one farmer's way of delivering his yearly accounts to Vince in a bag with a dead rat!

Market Report for w/c 24th of July. In this week’s market report, Andrew & Ben discuss how tense the world is becoming, with news of Russia bombing grain facilities in Ukraine for a fourth day in a row and seizing ships, resulting in a key part of the global food chain being affected.

The price of wheat has gone up to £20, and India has banned the export of non-basmati white rice to curb domestic inflation, which is raising fears of further increases in global food prices, just days after wheat and corn prices have climbed.

In terms of the weather forecast, the rain is not stopping any time soon! The St Swithin’s folklore is proving to be correct for another year, with the forecast not looking promising, therefore causing worry within the grain trade and to farmers across the UK.

Ben discusses how volatile the rapeseed market is and expresses his concern for the quality of the crop due to bizarre hail storms which have hit rapeseed fields hard across Norfolk. This volatility has come from the heat in America, which is causing issues not only in the U.S. but across the globe.

The biggest questions of this week are “Is now the perfect selling opportunity?” and “What is Russia going to do next?”. Andrew discusses his feelings of worry, and hope and how he is feeling philosophical about the state of the current grain market, but urges grain traders, store owners, and farmers not to worry about what they can’t control.

In the farm chat, Andrew & Vince discuss future plans that they have, including possibly offering accounting services to farmers. With Vince’s expertise in assisting the agricultural trade with their accounting needs, this could be an exciting move for Dewing Grain. Tune in to find out more.

For those joining us for the next Dewing Grain Walk, we will be walking around Swanton Abbott on Thursday 27th July at 2 pm. The meeting location is near Swanton Abbott Church in the school car park. What3words location: “darling.limits.vows”

Market Report for w/c 17th July 2023. In this week’s market report, Andrew discusses his concerns for 2023’s harvest with it getting off to a miserable start. With heat waves sweeping across Italy, Spain and France, it is concerning for the UK’s crops with the heatwave heading our way shortly. Listen now to find out trading prices for barley, rape seed, wheat and more…The first week of August is a week to watch out for, with some serious premiums coming your way.

In terms of the weather report, there has been plenty of rain, and some very warm weather on the way, with a heatwave estimated to hit around the 23rd of July.

In this week’s farm chat, Andrew and Webby soar over Norfolk’s countryside, inspecting crops from the air thanks to Keith Pigott; a local expert pilot. By inspecting from the air, Andrew & Webby are able to get an idea as to what will happen next in the grain trade market, and observe how well the harvest is getting along so far.

The first observation that Andrew and Webby have is that there does not seem to be much Winter barley, but there is a huge acreage of wheat and spring barley. Sugar beet does not look good, and rapeseed looked very hit and miss. Tune in today to find out what other observations the Dewing Grain team had.The team also discusses worries surrounding the drought in Canada and how it could affect the UK grain market if it perseveres.

In the farm chat, Andrew, Ben & Webby discuss Andrew’s recent interview on BBC Radio Norfolk, debate their lucrative weather and market predictions and discuss The Ashes Cricket Series.

They also discuss the jet stream that has moved from Shetland to the middle of the country, which may bring trouble to crops, and move on to talk about the collapse of feed barley which is making many people cross due to the prices. Andrew is not convinced that the winter barley is not going to have as higher of an acceptance rate as we have seen the past few year, so tune in to find out why this might be!

In the farm chat this week, the boys are joined by an old friend of Joe’s, Giles Brian, who is an entrepreneur and an expert in conversational AI.

Most recently based down in Washington DC, Giles founded a software company. After living there for the past 5 years, he has recently made his return to his homeland of North Norfolk. Giles discusses the pros and cons of automation, with the aim of using advanced technology to “give people more time, and run things more efficiently with lower energy usage.”

They go on to debate the popular belief that computers will become sentient and suddenly take over, which he explains simply is not true. Explaining the development of Artificial Intelligence and what “The Turing Intelligence Test” is and how it is used to examine this new technology. Giles goes on to explain the advancement of generative AI which is extremely powerful and very successful.

We learn that the most popular generative AI, which is owned by Open AI has had mass funding from Microsoft, who are looking to develop this further.

They discuss the process of farming becoming automated through the use of data, following a debate of whether this should be artificial intelligence or just really well-developed machines. Giles explains how AI is not about replacing humans, it is about assisting as we still need people to make evaluations on this technology.

Later, moving on to the effect of the internet on the younger generation, negatively impacting their communications skills – a topic lots of us are passionate about.

The plan for this week’s episode was to go on a crop inspection tour, a helicopter ride where Andrew would become a news reporter for the day, looking forward to being nosy and looking at everyone's crops. Unfortunately, the weather threw up some thunderstorms, so you will all have to stay tuned for this until the second week of July.

Today, as we are recording, the market has taken a turn for the worst, President Biden has announced that he is reducing the necessity for biofuel inclusion.

Andrew ruffled a few feathers in last week’s episode where he discussed his shared opinions with Greta Thunberg…tune in to hear thoughts on more opinions that he also disagrees with.

In the farm chat, Andrew discussed the key things in the market that we need to be analysing. Zelenskyy has announced that the people should get medicines ready as Russia may be plotting an attack on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

In terms of weather, Scandinavia still needs rain and this is forecasted for the coming week which will help the malting market. Andrew goes on to discuss the UK weather in more depth. Harvest is three weeks away, so the 15th to 16th of July will be when the team expect to see the first stages of this.

In the farmchat, this week we are back with an in-house Dewing Grain podcast. Webby has just returned from Holiday and is switched on, ready for his other holiday next week. Ben starts us off by covering the current news surrounding interest rates. Next week, the Bank of England, there is an interest rate rise coming. Comparing the rise in interest rates to the 80s and it's just not the same, the scope is much more concerning. Europe has just put their inflation rates up but theirs seems to be a lot more manageable than ours. With the interest going up, is this going to affect prices? Tune in to hear the debate.

Is the UK economy in a bit of trouble? Putting up interest rates, is this going to curve inflation? We can’t believe what we are hearing, Webby is cycling into work? Greta Thunberg is sending Webby a Christmas card this year for making more environmentally friendly choices.

Congratulations to Webby and his family who are soon to be moving into their forever home!

Andrew will be attending this year as he is now on the committee as a council member for the Royal Norfolk Show for Agriculture, he will be waltzing around in his top hat this year. Andrew has had a brilliant idea this week, tune in to find out what it is.

In the farm chat, we have finally got EDP local journalist Chris Hill on the Dewing Grain podcast, very proud to be a fellow winner of the Sir Timothy Colman Prize. Chris explains what a special and humbling experience it was to earn recognition as a journalist working within the agriculture community. Often reporting on the winners, Chris was stunned when he had the honour of receiving his prize, he just couldn’t quite believe it.

Chris has been with the EDP since 2007 a relatively late career change for him. Completing an aptitude exam to secure his position in the newspaper. Working for the EDP for 8 years before the agricultural position arose where he was then working as a Rural Affairs Correspondent, appreciating issues within farming from a consumer point of view to put a spin on things, making all information accessible to those outside of the industry - working to balance the impossible. The guys discuss imposter syndrome in the journalism sector and the difficulty of putting facts before opinions for journalists and the art of creating a fair argument.

Chris will be fitting tuning into the Dewing Grain podcast into his weekly schedule from this point onwards, will you be too?

Finishing the interview, we understand Chris' take on what the future of agriculture for Norfolk might look like. Smaller producers who have created their own set of values between themselves and the consumer are doing really well.

It’s not all that bad, Andrew enlightens us on a positive correlation to keep an eye out for, to give us hope for the coming wheat crops. Internationally, there are issues with China where they are experiencing some late rain causing floods, impacting quality & destroying crops. In other news, information came out this week that the EU’s import of wheat is up. Wheat is being exported from Poland to America resulting in incredibly cheap prices & Spain is looking to increase their barley imports.

Andrew announces that Dewing Grain has space for any old crop wheat, if you are in need of somewhere to store yours, get in touch with our friendly team today.

In the farmchat, this week we are in for a treat with an unusual kind of episode, a LIVE recording from Andrew with guests on the recent Bressingham Dewing Social Walk.

Enlightened by more history of Andrew, guests are given a tour including the room where Andrew was born. Joined by a superstar guest who travelled over 450 miles just to attend our famous walk. Everyone is after Andrew’s knowledge about not only the industry but an explanation of the current state of wheat prices.

In the farmchat, we take a trip down memory lane, understanding Andrew’s dreams of becoming a professional footballer which didn’t quite work out the way he had hoped, so instead he was redirected to trading which he loved, going on to forming Dewing Grain back in 2006. Inspired by his much-loved first role at Dalgety’s in Rackheath, he has been in the trade since 3rd July 1978 - Andrew remembers it like it was yesterday.

Josh moves on to questioning thoughts on technology and whether its progression over the last 30 years has helped or hindered the trading industry. Moving onto debating food standards and attitudes to food safety which the boys believe should be paramount, do you agree?

Andrew gets sentimental whilst sharing old stories from his early days in the business, tune in now you will not want to miss this one!

It appears there is not much farmer participation in the market…maybe a little bit of irony going on here, tune in to find out why. There is a demand for barley since Spain has a drought & the malting barley market has life.

Andrew updates that there is an awfully large amount of wheat moving out of their future stores and next week appears to be moving just as well.

An insight into harvest, which will not be taking place on July 1st this year, as discussed in last week’s episode, but the industry will be able to manage.

They go on to discuss the big threat to farming and how it is getting tougher; Jock explains ways of encouraging this generation to carry on their legacy. Andrew interprets how choosing to be a farmer for future generations is more complex because he believes they have more choice.

Andrew just knows that he would win “Grain Trader of the Year” …if only it existed!

In Farmchat, Volodymyr shares his story of life before fleeing to the UK to escape the Russian invasion of Ukraine and not being obliged to stay and fight the Ukrainian war due to being Georgian. Joined by his family and now living in Aylsham, Volodymyr’s wife is Ukrainian and his three young children are settled into school and speaking perfect English. 

He has been working with the Dewing Grain team for the past 6 months, keeping an eye on farm stores. Andrew & Volodymyr discuss the issue of the number of rations in Georgia and the impact that this dreadful war is having on its surrounding countries.

Volodymyr suggests everyone listening should visit his beautiful home city, Tbilisi, the Capital of Georgia, and Andrew touches upon the emotional visits for Ukrainian families, finally going back to visit loved ones after such a long time.

Giving thanks to the Dewing Grain team for helping him and his family feel so happy and settled whilst living over here in the UK… We hope he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon!

In this episode, Webby generously shares with us what his Mrs likes to call him, along with letting us all know where he likes to source all his infamous information...Thanks, Ian.

Tune in for a beefy chat as the guys consider life’s big questions, including: is this the bottom? Who should take the credit for the Norfolk Dinner’s success? And, most importantly, is Vladimir Putin real?

As we approach a year since the war began in Ukraine (24th Feb), Andrew, Ian & Ben reflect on the dramas of 2022 and what they predict 2023 will bring for the world…If you thought 2022 was volatile, then buckle up, 2023 is gonna be a wild one.

From droughts, heatwaves and floods, to war, politics and football, we’ve not been short of things to discuss (or rant about, in Andrew’s case!). We’ve recorded episodes across the UK and Europe (taking the podcast on tour), with our fabulous guest list including the top rugby stars Tom Youngs and Jack Van Poortvliet, and, of course, today’s top secret, special guest, to name a few.

This year, we shared a fair few beers and silly stories, delved into some deep topics and hit our milestone 200th episode, which we couldn’t have done without you. Thank you so much for tuning into the podcast every week, it wouldn’t be what is it without our listeners across the world, so this one’s for you!

From everyone at Dewing Grain, have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! We’ll see you in January 2023…

In the penultimate farm chart of the year, we’re doing things a little differently. To get into the festive spirit the boys are starting the farm chat with a beer tasting which was kindly gifted to them by Aylsham Grain’s chairman, Bob Clabon – thanks, Bob for the Bad Elf Beer!

Once the beers have been passed around, other topics of conversation include grain deliveries being rejected this week, rail strikes, broken grains, and a debrief on the World Cup game between England & France. Andrew has a big rant and reveals that Santa might be featured in the last episode of 2022 so make sure to listen next week!

The farm chat is hosted by Andrew and features Josh, Joe & Ian, there’s no Ben this week, unfortunately – but don’t worry Ben's fans, he will be back soon! The guys talk about the Bourse in London they are attending this week and are coming up with some topics to speak about with others from the industry, *beware* don’t trust what Dewing Grain might say to you!

The four also talk about Andrew’s recent trip to Amsterdam where his wife Tessa, or should we say, Karen, gets into a mussel debate with a waitress (Andrew & Josh watch out!), they also discuss Matt Hancock in I’m A Celebrity & they have a taste of Ben’s favourite beer, an Adnams Earl Grey Lager which he left in the office – sorry in advance Ben!

In Farm Chat, Andrew’s joined Joe, Ian & Ben, or ‘the four wise monkeys’ as they’d now like to be known! Tune in for the usual political chit chat including Liz Truss’ deals with New Zealand & Australia, a very long chat about the grain electronic passports, the £30 drop in the grain market and the World Cup. That’s nearly all of Andrew’s favourite topics to talk about! Ian also updates us about his new caravan, which sadly is without a chimney (don’t worry kids, Santa will find to deliver!).

Finally, the guy’s tuck into a Barsham Brewery B.O.B (Bitter Old Bustard) and share their thoughts on it. Perhaps maybe a beer sponsor or two before Christmas would be a nice treat…hint, hint!

In the farmchat this week, Andrew’s joined by Ben and Josh (although sadly no Webby, as he is moving into his new caravan!). The guys chat about the grain corridor and the constant debate from Vladimir and whether he is opening or closing it. They also discuss bird flu and its effect on trading and the Bank of England’s ridiculous interest rates.

The guys also fill us in on their separate trips to London, for very different events. Andrew & Josh were at the MAGB (Maltster’s Association) Luncheon at Armourers Hall and at the other end of the spectrum, Ben was at a Defra strategy meeting about where the organic market is headed.

In the 200th farm chat, Andrew is joined by Ben and Ian to reminisce over how the podcast has grown since their self-confessed slightly wooden first episode! The guys look back at some of their highlights from features like ‘The Legend Series’ where they had some big names join the podcast including Paul Mint, Chocco, Jeremy Savage & Murray Ferguson and Andrew’s very informative ‘Education Series’.

Andrew’s questionable farmers’ wife impression makes another appearance (sorry in advance!) and he tells us about his confession to stealing beer at the Aylsham Show.

And finally, it wouldn’t be a Dewing Grain Podcast without the gang trying some beers, Moongazer - Jigfoot, The Rev James and Ringwood Brewery - Boondoggle are the beers of choice this week.

Some special thanks need to be given on this podcast, firstly to Suzy and Claire who whipped the team into shape from Episode 1 to make sure it wasn’t carnage from the get-go. Secondly, to all of our incredible guests over the last 200 episodes who have given our listeners hours of informative, entertaining and sometimes silly conversation - it wouldn’t be what it is without you! And lastly, to anyone who has gifted us a beer or two, cheers.

Dewing Grain would like to say a huge thank you to all their listeners, old and new who have kept listening, as they wouldn’t be where they are without you guys - we are @dewinggrain on Twitter.

After an action-packed week in the UK filled with a heatwave, fires and politics no less, the guys share their reactions and thoughts on the impacts these will have on the last few weeks of harvest.

Unfortunately, the beer fridge is looking pretty bleak and barren so there’s no tasting this week… hint, hint!
