Nope. I wonder what percentage of spring crops to winter is ?
If nothing gets planted this spring, how will that affect the market I wonder.
it will be all done in a fortnight

Driving around the Midlands this winter there was an awfull lot of stubble . Due to blackgrass I was told .this next dry week forecast could well save us .I spoke to one big farmer who bales a lot of straw who said he was a lot more optimistic this year than last due to moisture levels .he may well comment himself if he reads this

Is it not skittles night down there?
If arable farmers weren't messed around by straw contractors so much they would be more likely to sell the stuff
Not helped by wet Augusts at all. Straw wasn't anywhere near £100/t at harvest either. Read @Sid 's straw bale/chop costs in the arable section & you'll see what straw removal costs are instead of just viewing it as an unwanted byproduct of cereal growing.My barley straw is still in the seed bag!

I was thinking the very same thing. Ive just been to get another two straw bales from the depleting stock in the barn where by still sits 8 bags of barley seed.
I dont think ive had seed corn hanging around so long. Hopefully these heavy "showers" will die out and we can get it in..JohnDeere8530
