straw more or less all spare spoken for and or gone and still getting asked for it,maybe have 25 acres of wheat left but will put that in a stack as a strategic reserve plus need a good number of squares to replace the ones we havnt replaced last year that we use as building blocks ,will more than likely chop the bean straw though may have to be with a forager on a windy day as the chopper on our combine has never been used and doubt it works after being remodelled some time ago

may as well bale it and use them for your building blocks and sell the straw

Pretty much. We paid slightly more first week of straw harvest for first load just to get some.

If the grain price and inputs stay high there will
probably be a lot chopped next year so
the trade will level out eventually.

round here merchant buyers prefer squares, local users split 30/70 in favour of rounds . Here at home prefer rounds other than those used for building blocks as they are easier to spread and keep better outside plus the livery gals use far less straw if having to get it off a round to save their nails

Looking at getting a straw probe, any recommendations or anybody got one for sale they don’t need? Moisture seems to be all over the place this year. Thanks
