He is not a fly by night, he has been a established straw trader for a long time. While I agree £100 + delivered is a lot of money, I think it will still be demand. Don't think cattle and pig farmers will use shavings, wood chip etc. Some livestock farmers will always use straw. We sold barley straw off the field for £45 which we were pleased with.

That is one hell of a price ex farm and doesn't reflect true market value get him to pay up front quick

Dairy farm near me is paying £67 for wheat delivered in. His man said he's already short.
Did you get my pm about the drill?

 

[Derrick Hughes]

I think your merchant is getting carried away, he may offer to buy it at that price but he might not sell it! he is £30t over the current market value off farm.

Once straw gets to £100t delivered on farm livestock farmers wont buy it, that was proved last year down here in the SW.

It's easy to spend some one else's money

Don't you mean bullocks. They love straw.
If a straw merchant told you he would give you £60-£80, would you tell him that seems expensive, you can have it cheaper!
He wouldn't quote us a price if he knew he couldn't sell it on.

rubbish.

Happened down here last spring, Barley went from £85t delivered in to £105t in Feb, merchants quoting shortages,,, farmers stopped buying for a few weeks and the market had no option but to drop back to £85t again.

Take your cake, say the feed co turned around tomorrow and said we are putting cake upto £400t what would happen?? sales would crash and straw is no different.

Plenty of alternatives to use if needs be or turn the cattle out onto stubbles etc..

Yep he would if he is trying to secure what he wants, could then turn around 4 months time and say he cant sell it at that price so can only pay £50t off farm instead of £80 etc etc.

Yes I see your point about securing some straw. If he came back with £50 in the new year he wouldn't get it. Got a blank cheque which helps!

Fair enough.....but if the merchant is happy with £80, and the grower is happy with £80.....

 

[Lewis]

I paid £65 a ton for good feed wheat straw delivered over the last month or so had about 70-80 tons
the straw merchant said the price was going up and if id been asking for loads now ,it would be an extra £10 a ton. ?

Yes plenty of straw, most still in the field. It'd be expensive to send it to Timbuktu.
