Harvest is here... 🌾
The first loads of winter barley have started to arrive at our malting and grain storage sites across the UK 📍
That means it's all systems go for the next few months, with around 350,000 tonnes of malting barley set to be delivered into our stores 🚛

Great team effort today! Made a start on WB Pearl 🌾 for @SimpsonsMalt, coming in at 16.5% , time will tell yield wise. 2nd cut silage ☘️ also done and dusted ✅! Harvest definitely going to be staggered with mixed desiccation dates.

Wild about wheat 🌾
Although most of our operation revolves around the procurement of malting barley and its processing into malt, by having @MSandPltd built into our business, it also allows us to procure, store and trade other cereals and pulses, including distilling wheat 🥃
At the event, our seed and agronomy team showcased the 16 varieties at the site, highlighting their agronomic and market strengths and weaknesses – as well as advising on sowing times, crop protection and seed treatments – to inform growers' variety choices for harvest 2025 ⏭️
We’d like to extend our thanks to all growers who attended on the night and you can find out more about our agricultural division here 👇
