We’ll be selling straw. Chopping curtails combine capacity, so in reality, is very expensive. Just my opinion.
Snetterton power station is going to be offline until at least the spring due to a catastrophic failure, releasing lot of straw onto the market. I know of a couple of people able to fulfil 2022/23 contracts with 2021 straw and not having to take the baler out of the shed
Whereas waiting for fussy balers curtails cultivation capacity.We’ll be selling straw. Chopping curtails combine capacity, so in reality, is very expensive. Just my opinion.
If those livestock farms in the Westcountry or Northumberland etc cannot get sensible priced straw they will cut or destock their livestock numbers..Only baling what we need for pig unit. Too expensive to cart about for family and others in West Country or Northumberland. Nobody keen to buy for power stations.

Then who is going to buy your highly priced grain ( that you need such high prices for to cover very high input prices ) ??
Especially when hundreds of thousands of tonnes of grain come out of Russia/ Ukraine and crash grain prices and which will happen sooner or later but it certainly will be within the next two years!
What happens when fert is £800 ton and your wheat is £140 a ton and not £280+ ?? it will happen, not a case of if but when!
Be carefull what you wish for !!
Ha, ha, you make me laugh. Are we going to de stock because straws up £20 ton, looks like there's some opportunities coming with all these empty cattle yards available to rent.If those livestock farms in the Westcountry or Northumberland etc cannot get sensible priced straw they will cut or destock their livestock numbers..
