Silage / Straw / Hay Price Tracker

I've just brought 166 4ft round bales mixture of wheat and barley straw for £11 a bale loaded onto my trailer from a farm 14 miles away, weighing about 5 bales to the ton, then brought a further 52 5ft round bales wheat straw for £14 per bale, getting told a lot there is a lot being blown straight back onto the fields tho

I thought it was good value but compared to last years the 166 bales I fetched have gone up £2 a bales and the load of 52 delivered had gone up £3 a bale :eek:
Been some loads of 6 string hesston bales getting into leek market getting to £75/ton and not selling.
It might be down next year, tbh I've seen a nation baled, wouldn't surprise me if it drops....anyway I've got all I need so if it goes up or down I ain't worried
