Set Aside Cropping

Set Aside production of '00' Oil Seed Rape

Harvest 2006

26/07/05

With rape markets around £150/t and a transparent contract
Set aside rape production for harvest 2006 is worth doing!

I can offer flexible and tailored crop buy backs.
Seed – farmers own choice, buy in, use own, or buy else where it’s up to you, although some seed purchase for multiplication is required.
I would appreciate the chance to quote for your seed requirements.

Crop buy back terms in brief:-

Movement at grower’s option from Harvest 2006 to January 2007
Selling both forward and spot positions or tracking the Erith & Liverpool crushing markets can be arranged.
Movement can be arranged into store straight off combine if marketing is desired later and storage a difficulty.

PRICE: £5 discount to commercial rape crushing value, plus 50% of the oil bonuses above 42%

For those wishing to grow rape on set aside I would suggest you wait until the crop is established and then in November I can send out packs that have the following information enclosed.

1. The contract. (Set of four copies)
2. An addressed envelope.

1. Enter your farm holding number in section 2.
2. Enter area being grown and forecast yield in section 4.(2.7t/ha average)
3. Sign all four contracts under ‘claimant’ at the bottom of each contract, as original signatures have to be on all copies.

Please sign and return them in the envelope provided.
