IF buyers are welching left, right and centre, will even more straw than normal be chopped next year? If I was a big arable farmer that had sold straw in the swath for the first time in years, then the buyer/dealer backed out and left me with a soggy swath, i’d Likely weld the chopper to the back of the combine to stop me being tempted again.

Does nobody stand by their word any more?:(
yes

Hmm...well....there we go. Producing straw ain't that easy. Some on here ( and FB for that matter ) think straw is made by Tescos in a factory just outside Milton Keynes..........:bored:
Umm think you’ll find once again you’re talking twaddle.:rolleyes::banghead::ROFLMAO:
