We had more than 6 in 2012 and less than 1.5 in 1996.Generally a ton of wheat produces 3 round bales of straw.

You say that, yet over in the price tracker thread they are quoting strong prices for stores and calves . I can never understand it myself .Problem will be who will be able to afford it?? Livestock job isn't exactly awash with money
It will hold up following operations especially if it gets wet & the balers won't pick it up if really beaten up by rotary combines and has no length.
Will you take the chopper belt back if straw gets to £100/t?
Livestock farmers only have a certain amount of money to spend on straw regardless how much there is.
Wet August will be ideal here.If we get a wet August things could be very interesting indeed!!
Hell of a pikey BBQ waiting to happenWho can afford to sit on 10000 tons really
If it gets to £150 it won’t get much wear but it will stay on the combine! Weather at the time will dictate whether I chop or not farm more than the price.

I'm happy to forgo all profits & sell my grain/straw at production cost.
