Errrrrrrr...... wheat yield/ variety etc
Weather during growing season ?
Type of combine used ?
Type of baler ?
Bale length ?
Bale weight ?

🤔🧐
Wheat yield + variety wouldn't know because buying it behind combine.
John Deere 9670 4 walker combine i think
Jones Baler. (Makes REALLY good bales)

Which part of the country ?

25kg bales = 40 per T

Good wheat crop = 2.5t/ ac
Not so good = 1t/ ac
Crap = 0.5 - 0.2? t/ac ?

What is your end use as would make a difference in the weight/length of bale you made and on top of that all the other variables to consider e.g quantity to make, clean crop ,ripeness of straw ,type of combine, weather,growing season etc etc oh and forgot if you are selling them is it by weight or /bale

the amount of wet weve had this winter....just to get the straw yield expectation2021 started , there wont be a bumper crop
though I am more hopeful than I was this time last year when I had very little drilled and what was drilled was still brown from a distance... at least there is some green our there this time!
