[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 9278933, member: 86168"] we were short one year, and bought some rye straw in the swathe. little baler, was as slow as you could go, + shear bolts, flat 8 was useless, so a flat 6, bales were a continuous flow. round baler was 'interesting', to say the least, stop to tie, and about 10/12 foot of swathe would be pulled in, as it tied. the worst was yet to come, unrolling the fecking things in winter, baled a tad damp, it stuck together, and as the straw was 5/6 foot long.................. evil. Grown for ryvita, crop had to be carefully checked, and remove, ergot, any found post combine, whole field rejected, ergot grows on rye, perhaps putrid has eaten to much rye bread, huge amounts grown in Russia. never bought any more, l got the blame, as l bought the stuff from a friend. The one bonus, it was a 12ft header. little bales were all rightish, bit carboardy, but ok. the straw itself, was fine. we are toying with the idea of sowing forage rye, behind maize, collect £60ac, spray off in apr, and hope it dries enough to bale, for straw, and hopefully, not 5/6ft tall.
