Silage / Straw / Hay Price Tracker

[Sid]

Ha ha there are at least two other company's in the SW holding collective fodder sales in the SW in the next 4 weeks all with a lot of straw entered.

Lets be honest Sid, you are full of BS and think you know it all when in reality you know sweet FA.

Wow you must be either telepathic or believe what the auctioneers tell you because until the catalogue is posted and the sale arrives it coukd be double entered, sold before or withdrawn.
I asked who and no surprise you don't answer the question. AGAIN!!
I was going by the facts I saw not second guessing what could be entered. So until I see the evidence I don't speculate.

You selling or buying?
If you really did buy too much at harvest, when it was cheap, you'll be making a killing. Good on you.
You weren't talking your book on here by any chance

there are those who sell to the highest bidder and those who sell a bit less in a good year and a bit more in a bad to a guy who's been having it for donkeys years and will bring is donkey back for many years to come. The guy who sells to the highest bidder this year will be moaning next year, there is no money in the job

That world is very rare these days. Why shouldn't straw be just like wheat or Barley, traded for the market price on the day.
Let's face it, the livestock men take their stock to market on the day they think they'll get the best price, never do they say, oh you can buy my cattle at the same price as last year because your loyal!
You need to get over it, straw is worth big money this year, and those of us with it are going to sell for the best price we can get. We are running businesses, not charities

I have spoke to two big straw produces this week who want to draw up long term contacts a garanteed price month by month .
Straw has been up and down for years . they ain't interested in a one year bonanza an 4 years of crap. that's why so many have sighed up for £40 ton power contracts becouse they don't want to be like spud boys. one good year then shat on for 3 .

Needs to be contracts designed/ drawn up for a min price for farmers baling their own straw and then storing it in sheds until the winter months.

Ie say for good Wheat straw £55t min ( example figure ) out the shed in November then a £2 a month carry over but if the average market price in November is say £70 ex farm the buyer has to pay that but if it drops to say £50 in November the buyer still pays £55t.

Good for them, if that's what they are happy with. Personally i would stick it in the barn and leave it a year if need be , but I understand that some haven't got storage.
