Well I was already told it could be in short supply in NI and I dont have any left to sell on. No good weather here especially in the west.
No shortage in the east of NI, grass grew well and is still growing. Not a year to remember but there were enough weather windows to make plenty of silage and those that want quality mostly got it.

Straw and Forage will be short enough and not cheap in the new year . When I think back to when we started 90% of our hay and straw came up from Kent .they are now magor exporters over the water and very little comes back to Wales and the lust for burning straw to power plants is getting ever closer to the Welsh Borders .cheap straw I am afraid is becoming a thing of the past

I'm told that trade for baled silage is very sharp in the West of Northern Ireland. Apparently even many of the 'good farmers had not got on well at making silage,' and cattle are in the house eating last year's bought bales. Sounds like a long winter ahead.
