what is a realistic price for wheat and barley straw in the swath?

been told it used to be £30 an acre for winter barley doing roughly 8 4ft rounds to the acre should I expect a touch more than this with straw shortages? but not £50 < that's just a bit of a ripoff?
I understand the arable farmer will want it cleared asap

what about wheat?
Do we know it's going to be short . A few very big merchants are predicting a glutt mid harvest , I'm saying nothing other that some price expectations are crazy, power stations ate paying a bit more so it's bound to rise a little on last year's pre harvest price

its as much a case of how long do I leave it before I get something sorted, tractor and trailer distance will be gone before too long and it starts adding a fare bit having it hauled, normally ends up around 15 per bale delivered into our yard?

Only you can decide that, straw hob is one big gable, look at last year, barley loaded early July £40 To £45 ton loaded on a Wagon .by end of Harvest is was hitting £70 ton .this year it could easy go the other way
