When was it ever a good idea per acre? Per ton is best way.

Been offered £80/acre in the swath a couple of weeks ago so it was clear where prices were heading!

I have got 1500 acres of barley and wheat straw to be sold off the field in Quadrants at £50-£60/t.
£50/t to the person that is happy with the load, pays me within 30 days, doesn't mess me about wanting to spend an hour squeezing an extra bale on the wagon.
£60/t to the person that is happy with the load, pays me within 30 days, doesn't mess me about wanting to spend an hour squeezing an extra bale on the wagon, to then 30 days later says they were a bit wet
£70 and above to all others.........
PS be nice if you brought a bottle of 'Proper Job' or some Gower potatoes for the loader.

Well a lot of spring barley crops will be lucky to do a ton an acre plus baling and loading cost in at £30 pounds a ton recon some might find it has cost them getting on for £130 a ton if they are paying £100 an acre.

Heard this last year after harvest but only Pub gossip mind-
Barley @£130/tonne
Straw @£130/tonne
Farmer says
Why did we bother with all that hassle combining, hauling, drying, storing, loading etc. Just swath, bale and load in the field.

The way things are shaping up we all may have to think again!

It'll stretch a fair bit after awns out. Plenty people found alternatives last winter and will again if it's too expensive.

Yea, 350 ish

A large straw merchant from the South West has apparently lost over 2000 acres of straw from Kent as someone went in and offered a lot more money than the SW straw dealer..

If the delivered in price is £100 then £60/70t ex field from places like Wiltshire and delivered to Devon would be about right.

Last summer you could get straw off the field ( bales ) from these areas for £40/45 ton.

Of course if your selling straw baled ex field from say Cornwall then it will be nearer £80t if the delivered in price is £100.

You need to look at the bigger picture......

Did you sell??

 

[SilliamWhale]

Ill be looking for at the very least £80 t for barley and little bit less for wheat. Means it will be probably £20 round bale belt baled.

Even then i wont make more than last year as straw is not there

 

[Jerry]

Where would people put rape straw this year?

Will there be a market?

I both enjoy and appreciate art. I am fortunate to have some big pictures and have the rooms to show them off. However, I will take your advice and pay a visit to the National Gallery so that I may see a bigger picture

I bake all mine and use it myself. That means I can sell more cereal straw and thereby gives the rape straw an equivalent value per bale

Im baling mine. Ill want £12 round bale
