[QUOTE="Mark C, post: 8204609, member: 956"] Personally I think the extra fuel burnt and extra N required to break down the straw offsets the increase in P and K price. The remainder is supply and demand driven Lots and lots of untouched stacks in the east as yields of straw last year were high and people baled more off the back of the shortage in 2020. Add in drop in demand due to a heck of a lot of people culling cows that perhaps they wouldn't have due to the cost of feeding them and the very strong cull price. 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 It's going to need to be less money than last year but will be down to location. Not sure how some people can pay more for straw, pay more to bale it and shift it to get the same price per tonne as last year. [/QUOTE]
