Just thinking out, but the standing straw guys at their £100 to £127 acre yesterday at Exeter would be around £60 to £80 per ton before baling and haulage.Was told by a friend to night that he had been quoted £200 for barley old season for now delivery and will be. £120 new season............
145 to 150 for last few loads , new crop should be less than £100 but that's only for my regulars , not fussed about any more workSo what are

Not at guth's predicted yields -Just thinking out, but the standing straw guys at their £100 to £127 acre yesterday at Exeter would be around £60 to £80 per ton before baling and haulage.
You would not really want to allow any more than 1 or 1.25 ton acre really when buying standing straw in this part of the world as once you take out the wet spots/ small corners/ deep ruts so the header stays high it can soon affect yield.
Ha, ha, good old guth, I did not walk the crops in question so he might be right, I can only go by my crops, and those I spray, and those I have walked here in mid Devon and 1.5 to 2 ton looks achievable in wheat and barely. One dealer has been on the phone booking loads, plenty up country but they want a lot more for it than last year and haulage isn't cheap.Not at guth's predicted yields -
I saw a cracking field of winter Barley this week, you could have nearly walked on the ears.Ha, ha, good old guth, I did not walk the crops in question so he might be right, I can only go by my crops, and those I spray, and those I have walked here in mid Devon and 1.5 to 2 ton looks achievable in wheat and barely.

Thats what makes all the difference.Not at guth's predicted yields -
Would you pay full price for a tractor that's in bits in a boxThats what makes all the difference.
I once bought the most expencive lot per acre in GTH's auction but I bet it wasnt the most expencive straw, loads of bales
Well no, would you?Would you pay full price for a tractor that's in bits in a box
Exeter standing straw sale today...
Trade well UP on last year!
Winter Barley anything from £96 to £125 acre with most lots at the higher end of this price range.
Winter Wheat anything from £96 to £127 acre, plenty of lots £110-£122/23 acre!
Winter oats £84 to £104 acre.
One lot of wheat at £75 but no idea what the issue with it was and the same with another field of wheat at £91 acre.
A few new bidders not seen before plus normal buyers who are prepared to go a lot further away for standing straw this year.
That's why I don't buy straw that's not bales
Is that so they can hide the black grass?
I have been hauling straw for 40 years and I have never had a Welsh Livestock Farmer even mention black grass ,
It won't survive on an all livstock grass farm in Wales. It needs to seed to survive in case you did not knowEverywhere out East ,should be restricted movement of
straw from such areas .

Are you saying if the muck containing black grass is spread on a grass field it won't servive if it does not set a seed head its self? So your suggesting cutting or grazing will kill it?It won't survive on an all livstock grass farm in Wales. It needs to seed to survive in case you did not know
I don't sell any where near the Welsh Borders but If a farm grows a fair bit of corn they he would be mad to buy in straw from anywhere , I know arable farmers who won't let a baler on the place unless it steam cleaned firstPlenty of mixed units on the Welsh border had to buy extra
straw as they were short and the muck goes back on their arable ground.
The straw is used for bedding and the seeds could be in the straw.
