"It's been challenging, to say the least. Wheat has gone from 110 pound/t to 60 pound and up to 180 pound, for some. It's a roller coaster and you can't afford to take your eye off it for a minute." "I'm not sure how many have. We used to spot sell everything, but after it went from 110 pound to 60 pound we started looking at selling forward. We've sold half the 2008 crop and some of it is at 155 pound/t. But these aren't excessive prices. Twenty years ago It of wheat was worth 120 pound/t, which bought 240 pints of beer. Even at 180 pound/t, a tonne of today's wheat only buys 50 pints."
