Slow farmer selling and a rise in maize prices are combining to push wheat prices higher.The trade is trying to draw out spot supplies and there are distinct regional shortfalls, especially further north where harvest is concentrated on spring barley.The wide range of ex-farm feed wheat prices reflects this, running from ￡158/t ex-farm for September in Kent and East Sussex, to ￡170/t in Shropshire, Cheshire and Yorkshire.The top of the range is similar to November feed wheat futures, which reached close to ￡170/t at the start of the week and were at ￡168/t as Farmers Weekly went to press on Wednesday (2 September).
