Think I would have left it a day but then in catchy weather,it seems easy but it's not, very easy for me to go around cherry picking the best stuff, you guys are at the butt end of the weather
It would be wet now, no fun/point in drying straw

One year I turned 100 acres almost everyday for 3 weeks, no point baling wet is there, but agree if you can guarantee it's dry bale it

Decided to bale last night because it forecast rain this morning and it poured down this afternoon. Straw looked dry to me shiney/glossy and no green in there. 10bale/acre, 2.1ton/acre, £20/ton. How does that sound?

There wouldn't be any left after that much turning . Better left alone.

I sold it, it was like dried autumn leaves and the farmer said it was the best bedding straw ever and got a trailer load of stone thrown in for free,

Im going to chop all mine later today when the combine arrives.the usual buyers dont want it as too much left over from last year and those that do want it dont pay their bills.dont want lots of extra wheelings compacting the land either

Did think about it, but after talking to my mate who runs 9 artics I'm not gonna bother to much hassle.

Everyone and his dog want to carry straw, to quote a very big south West merchant, if you got the standing straw for less than nothing yiu could not make any money with the on farm price as it is
If I was a young chap and looking to make a few quid, I'd get myself a fastrac and top notch trailer .
N Staffordshire and S Cheshire only , it's not far to Boston .

Why Boston, be cheaper at Stratford as it's further from the burners
