Loads of straw

[radar]

Been to Lincoln today and it looks like the combines have got away from the balers slightly! Don't think its an exaggeration to say there are thousands of acres waiting for a baler.

That would be true. And forecast some moisture on the weekend. It's times like these having a good relationship with several baler teams helps. Hehe.

Shame your not nearer can’t get a baler for love nor money here

As an aside I hugely pity the teleporter drivers travelling on some of these fields as they are rough with all the cracking - the balers not so much as they are big and heavy, although drawbars are going to be tested.

I don't know , but everyone around here is the same. One theory that me and my contemporaries have come up with is that during stem extension moisture was in abundance, it only got really dry once the straw had been made.

Another thing that I've noticed and think has helped immensely is big doses of N early. Everything had 70 units of urea the week after the beast from the east. the odd field which didn't get any for another week/10days is noticeably poorer in both grain and straw.

Another thing we use very little pgr, plenty of pig muck and yes we are light land.

Pig muck makes straw.

Pig muck makes straw.

After their plea for as much straw as possible to be baled, are the NFU guaranteeing a profitable sale price for all that is ? I think not.

If they get screwed on price, arable farmers won't forget this in a hurry. Don't whinge next year if it ALL goes to power stations.

I wont need any next year they have fuked me off big time with profiteering, my money is going into cubical s and slats one customer lost here due too their offensive greed, i urge my fellow livestock farmer to do the same, protect your own future.

Price still holding up well in Devon, Know of a dealer paying £25 round bale x farm, hope its a short transport hall.

Good luck ! i dont need it. £60 ton awaits, next month £55 and so on we will see who wins.

If I had a large acreage, I wouldn't bother either.
Social media has fudgeed the straw job up this year good and proper.

SM has fudgeed many things on the race to the bottom...
