Silage made £21 and it was stalky ryegrass more suitable for cows which is what it went for.
Overall very pleased.
Did you see the bales yourself and would you be happy to guess what £ per ton that would have been roughly?I had an instruction to buy yours for someone but could only go up to 25 so had to let it go .
Sale was pretty good all round I thought.
