John said he thought they'd stopped making them as they had moved the machine that made the rolls to a different site. He didn't seem impressed they'd stopped making them but I agree farmers probably still buying on price/t rather then efficiency of use.JV did tell us about one farm that was on all grass wintering/cell grazing, and was feeding soya as a line on the grass every few days, just as they were let into a new cell. I’d be interested to see how much £320/t powder was left stuck to the soil after, as I can’t see they’d eat most of it, or even bother if they had a fresh bit of grass that day.
I did wonder about those NWF soya rolls a while ago, but never tried them before I heard they’d stopped making them. I wonder, did they stop because they can’t make it into a stable roll, or because sales were so low? When the majority of sheep farmers just buy on price per ton, I can’t imagine they’d ever be more than a niche product.
Slightly annoying that the understanding of ewe nutrition is developing but feed merchants not ready yet to go with the advice but why would they when they stand to sell substantially less feed.
