# E-Malt: UK: Growers urged to move fast to secure contracts for their crops

> UK growers who are weighing a switch from winter to spring crops after a wet autumn are urged to secure contracts quickly. Spring wheat is sold out, spring malting barley premiums are expected to fall because of higher volumes, and spring naked oats offer contract premiums.
