Panic buying straw.

Sir loin · Oct 26, 2021

With the huge rises in fertilizer prices for Phosphate and Potash straw choppers on the back of combines next harvest will be surely a very common site what price will straw be next year and will there be any?

Let’s worry about getting through this winter before we worry about next years….no one can predict what will happen…fertiliser prices might ease back yet. No one knows

No, panic buying is very necessary.

I have 300 quadrants of barley straw if anyone feels the urge to do so.....

Will be plenty of straw next summer for sale.

Best autumn for drilling corn in years!

Most arable farmers have already bought their Fert for next season and many already have it in the shed.

The arable farmers next summer will need as much income as possible to buy Fert for the 2023 season, subs will be much less then, grain will only be around the £200 ton mark so they will certainly want the income from straw sales!

Hay and silage however will be very dear come the new year/next summer!

Are you trying to start one ?

OK then, let's try the Government's method...

There is absolutely no need to panic buy. If everyone just buys a little as they need it, then there is plenty to go around.

You lads in North Yorkshire will have to resort to cutting bracken with a sythe, drying it, and carting it in to the barn for bedding,

Seriously, many livestock farmers are going to have to think about growing a field of corn at home, to save on inputs, grain n straw, whats not to like about it

Wheres all the stock going to come from for all this fodder and straw? Best thing the arable men can do now is cosy up to the nearest livestock man and send him free straw for some manure in return.

And where is that leaving the stock farmer without the muck, a big fert bill ?

Be better off selling the store cattle to the arable man

Aren’t arable men scared of cows and fences?

That's a bit harsh, tarring them all with the same brush,

ok a couple that like cows and fences as they have staff

All depends on regions etc but i posted on the fodder price tracker that more will be sold nearer £10 than £20 in my opinion. Farmers with a long standing loyal customer base will probably still get £18-25 maybe, but there was alot on offer at the end of last winter that went unsold so its anyones guess.

Panic buying straw.
