Corn Returns: Ex-farm prices and volumes

The Corn Returns are the longest-running domestic price series for grains. The survey shows the average ex-farm prices for wheat, barley and oats as well as the volume of grain traded. For more information, take a look at our Weekly Market Report. To view volume data please use the 'Download data' section at the end of the page.

Corn Returns ex-farm prices will be published as usual on Monday 16 December and then pause for the Christmas period until the next update on Monday 06 January 2025.

Under the AHDB Order (2008) it is mandatory for buyers of more than 1,000 tonnes of UK grown cereals a year to provide information. Each week on a Monday, data is published for the purchases made during the previous week (Friday to Thursday). 

Ex-farm prices are the price received by the farmer regardless of haulage and other fees.

For more details, please see the Corn Returns Information guide.
