Barley £16-18/bale for quadrants
Don't think any of the wheat straw sold!
Did you have some in?

The price fertiliser is, many growers will want to leave the potash in the field and chop the straw next harvest .
Especially if the straw trade is weak .

There won’t be as much straw needed either. A lot of pigs will be gone as will a lot of cattle.

pigs I know of would of been on slates but I agree alot will have gone, the cattle numbers won't have changed at all, have increased cow / cattle numbers here in fact, but we are mainly arable to be fair though.

and yet global research points out, that animals are a very important part, of soil improvement, that allows it to increase carbon sequestration.
There are to many half truths, and red herrings being traded, mainly by those that have vested interests, in the more 'carbon unfriendly' industries.
On pigs, l saw a 'big improvement' ln mkt report, and l really hope it is the start of a recovery, pig producers, desperately need it.

On the other hand folks may bale like mad in the hope of recouping some cost.

Any thoughts on the fodder trade over the next 2-3 years? I can't imagine that there will be anything other than less about next year with the fertiliser price where it is but what about following that? Come on, we all love some ill-informed speculation

fert simply makes things easier to achieve, a quick, cheap answer to high yields, and fairly reliable. Made life easier. Lot depends on price, and probably the days of cheap fert are over, don't think it will stay at these prices though.
So we will have to find alternative ways, to maintain yields, and to do that, we have to look back, at pre fert principles, and try and put a modern twist on them. But it will be back to 'proper' rotation, which was designed to maintain soil fertility. Fert will still be used, just a lot more judiciously ! Or, the price comes right back, or the price of ag product, rises to cover input costs. But better use of our own resources, has got to be right, either way.

Enviro scheme hay? Would there be something in ELMS or one of the other schemes which would encourage the making of hay? The quality is another issue, of course...

Grass for bees etc that cannot be cut until later .Dry cow hay doesnt need to be great, just slows up autumn grass going through the cows.
