I agree….if I was an arable man I’d be planting every acreWhile everyone is running one way you quietly walk the other.
Barley will be £250 a ton and straw £200 this time next year
Maybe we should grow barley which produces loads of straw and no grain then!

Barley, soya,minerals, best sheep grub you can feed, better than any sheep cake on the market and cheaper too

Yes that’s fair enough however eventually it should reflect the price but never does

If that was us we would be expected to take the hit for making silly mistake .

I can remember paying £60 a tonne for barley and I’m sure the straw was around the same price or more because I remember making the comment it would be cheaper bedding them up with barley

Cheapest option that works, For me it is whole oats in 20 kg batch plus 3/4 kg Soya, 1/2 kg Course mix plus maybe 1/4 kg High Vit minerals. Have tried (unsucessfully) to add a drizzle (posh way) of molasses blend. Shovel mix.
Easy way is half fill 5kg buckets add half the protein etc, top up to weight add rest of pretein etc and fill into bags. Is adequately mixed going in to troughs.
If cost Oats at £150/tonne, recon mix is about £190 ish a tonne.
I feed mine whole barley and wheat with milled beans and minerals just mix it up with JCB bucket 10 tons at a time.
Have dunbia finally woken up

If they want sheep they need to pay
Maybe finished cutting up the imported stuff. If dunbia is 6.85 then abp needs to be 7 as they weigh better at dunbia I find.

I’ve fed a lot on whole barley but blew a few up too
I have killed a few but not enough to worry about.
