6 string ain't a Mini Heston in Wales, but il bid you £60 for one week only

£60/ bale? You've changed your tune Derrick

It's a changeable tune

If the weather don't improve it could go up again just as fast as it's come down

You are right Derrick, these are 6 stringers not mini hestons - I am 45 minutes from the M25….

Good idea - anybody else interested above £60 per tonne and can collect this Friday ?

Why don't you leave that where it is and sell the next stuff straight off the field

 

[Roos Farm]

Because the next batch are round bales and they suit my needs even better !

I agree with Derrick that prices could go up from here so perhaps it is best to hold on for now. I have demand at £70 per tonne for 50 bales - anybody else interested at this level ? Maybe for the return leg of a journey? We are near Horsham - 45 mins from M25 and one mile from an A road leading to the M25.
These are 6 stringers: 8ftx3ftx4ft ….
They were baled at the end of the heatwave last week and immediately stuffed in the barn to protect them from rain ….

Each bale weighs 456kg

So how much are 4’6” well packed round barley straw worth per bale locally ex farm to farm in a mixed farming area?
Was thinking a minimum of £20 (approx.£100 tonne) or they go in the shed for storage?
