Malt Barley Contracts!

[charliep]

I am going to put a plug in for western barley growers annual meeting. Members of the malting and brewing industry will be there for your questions. Ian White is presenting as well. A good place to raise these issues.

I would never sign a contract without an Act of God. There are way too many things that could work against me. On my farm Mother Nature calls the shots, I can textbook farm and in the end if i get dealt a dirty hand by Her there is nothing I can do. The risks of not getting malt are to high to go without an Act of God.


Regarding Cash "Plus", I had it explained to me that the plus was anything else you could negotiate with the accepting company, like trucking, possibly different quality specs, extra money for better quality specs, what ever. Good luck!!

Maybe there needs to be a third party grading/over looking the quality specs. So if companies "over select" they can't come up with any excuse to reject it. There are too many specs to meet and it gives them an excuse if they need one to reject it. If it was accepted once it should be good to go, if it takes too long for the other guys to take delivery and it some how miraculously looses it's quality, it shouldn't be my problem if it was a fair representative sample. Pay me to either aerate it, turn it, or get it the hell out of here!! It is too easy for the accepting party to get out of the contracts.

Malt barley is a joke!!

Perhaps we need a corp like Bunge to get into the malt business. Clean this dam mess up. Anyone ever have a problem with Bunge? You know Bunge is the only grain company I know of if you had unpriced grain delivered, they do not offer more to someone that has not delivered yet. Not counting the couple dollars basis one can work on.

Agree, only positive experiences dealing with Bunge, canola that is.

Bunge would make an awesome maltster. They
are a very good company from my
perspective.
