Practically no hay/ silage in next weeks fodder sale at Sedge
A lot cheaper than £80 /ton . Maize delivered into Wales is a lot less . But perhaps not after todayWas that the grass silage that made 40k? works out at £80t ish....
What did the wholecrop oats and barley pits make?
Not surprised what the silage made, very short, I have seen lorry's all week coming down the M5 hauling round bales of silage/ artic loads of pit silage etc etc and that isn't going to be cheap once you factor in the haulage!

The big auctions in the Midlands start next week .worrying times for anyone looking for fodderAye but don't forget the stuff today was organic so really it should make more, only one sale, really need to see how trade is at the forage sales between now and Xmas to get a better idea.
Also Kivells have another on farm dispersal sale in 2 weeks time in Mid Devon and details aren't out yet but apparently there is a lot of round bale hay and barley straw in the sale so that will give an indication of what trade is like for conventional stuff also.
YepAre you sure .that's £80 /ton ?
Had a few folk asking if we have any spare hay/straw for sale the last few days. Chatting to them about the trade it seems straw is more expensive than hay. Straw around €150 and hay about €120
Actually, the straw price is irrelevant as they can’t actually find anyone to supply them.
Yes grass made £40 k wholecrop £27kWas that the grass silage that made 40k? works out at £80t ish....

5% on lots over £2000@gone up the hill @jondear what was the buyers commission on all that silage. Kivells are normally 10% I thought??
