I think people will pay that sort of money this year but long term its not sustainable.

Its either the Irish or Scots that have just received an advance on their BPS payments.

Not at all.

That is what straw is currently making, only time will tell if it will go higher or trade will ease off.

Some on here claim that it will be £100 off farm by Jan and if that is the case it will be £140 delivered in to mainland farmers and about £190/200t for the Irish.

Irish boys have had it really bad, pics on FB of farmers with no forage yet and have now resorted to having a mower on the front linkage and a round baler on the back! ( seems extreme thou )

I could only get £12/ton for straw in 2001/2. That's in the depths of winter, in Hesstons. A combination of lack of animals because of foot and mouth, and the Ely power station backing out of contracts because they were a year late getting going meant that noone wanted to travel this far for it.

You need to see your doc and get some anti depression tablets,, Straw job was a lot worse in 2012 for starters!

Weather isn't ideal but straw yields so far across most off the UK are the highest for many a year!

I'm getting phone calls regularly at the moment for people wanting hay, saying 'My usual supplier has run out!', which I assume means he's not made enough/any and binned off customers as a result. And its only October........

Well there is no way I'm selling hay for less than straw!
Have you got hay that can be sold cheap enough for bedding @Forage Trader ?
