[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 121364, member: 1048"] Thanks, some very usefull info, Covering your main points, I have my own crimper so that side of things shouldn't be a prob, use a contractor for cutting who may not be too happy cutting high % grain! as for the straw I hate the idea of strawlage as well, ( esp given the price of straw down here ) but I use an old type machine ( no idea what its called as I inherited it!! ) that is good for turning straw to help it dry ) you are right about the loss of flexibility on using the grain as feed or selling it but unless stores get crazy money I will keep on buying them! Biggest prob I have is the clamp as I don't have one, I was wondering about putting down a concrete pad and storing it on that?? wouldn't actually have any side's and wouldn't use bale's for the reasons you state, would that be feasible or too much wastage?? Plus side for crimping this year is that its all spring crops and I want to get a lot of forage crops drilled for the sheep next winter so crimping would help clear the fields a tad quicker + would get more straw from the spring barley as it will be cut a bit green so shouldn't break up like it usually does.
