sector most years .

They dont squeak they moo and eat and drink and pee and poo and sleep and not much else apart from the occasionally act of escape but i always tell them in a German accent "their is no escape"

They could be if it wasnt for the government's pet bug ridden vermin

Plenty of oilseed rape straw at not too silly money!
The moisture content has been exceptional too.

What do power stations pay per ton ?

Power station straw not the same. Take it damper. Less fussy. No need to turn the bits the combine has run over. No whining. Constant demand. Much easier to deal with, hence lower price. Animal straw is hence at a premium. Similar to how you need a premium (danger money) to send wheat to one mill over another. On paper the same wheat but in reality not.

Hehe. We won't be sending any to the power station. Just saying that they are typically easier to deal with in terms of getting on and baling. This year is easy with dry straw etc but there is a difference between straw for the power stations and stock men in terms of quality. I'd normally expect to have to at least turn the end rows and leave it down two or three days if going for bedding.
