Allied Mills offers buy-back contract
(Farmer's Guardian) -- ALLIED Mills has announced a special buy-back contract for newly Recommended Group 2 wheat, Marksman at £20/tonne over feed for harvest 2009.
Designed to encourage growers to take up a variety for which the leading miller sees considerable future potential, the contract should provide sufficient incentive to encourage strong initial grower uptake.
Allied group wheat and procurement manager, Howard Leland said they wanted to encourage growers to give it a go.
“We agree with Nabim that the variety doesn't have sufficient baking quality to rate as a Group 1. But in simple protein, specific weight and Hagberg terms it's well up to the bread-making mark and we can make far better use of it than current Group 2 mainstay, Einstein.”
