First cut £55 acre second cut £40 is what I've seen sold not far from here . It was a young ley which had 1cwt nitrogen put on in March. Fert for the second cut was down to purchaser .... he had a few chasing after it .

I suppose it covers his firtilzer cost
edit he lost a packet selling for that, won't even cover the potash offtake, be better to chop it back in
