No I just report prices that are actually correct, be that high or low prices.Thou I think the straw sold yesterday made a good £10/15 acre more at least than what most people were expecting, will be intresting to see what trade is like at tomorrows sale.

And these prices are payed by farmers who live nearby so are a m4s length from reality .it did say not one dealer lifted a hand to bid

It will be farmers living nearby who have mostly their own kit...lots of the grass work is now completed so they have the kit doing nothing

And no dealer/ haulier profits to come out of it, just farmer's own costs.
Depends if he's got nothing better to do I guess.
a lot going on about the prices paid for standing straw but it depends on the crop, its been over £100/acre before, a few years ago I baled and moved a crop of wheat straw that cost just over £100 that was in the farmers shed for about £80/ton
can any of the dealers on here deliver and stack straw for £80/ton and that was round bales which were far better and less wasteful for the farmer concerned

A lot depends on the corn grower too, some do not deserve anything when they are screaming for green straw to be cleared 5 minutes after been cut. A man who understands straw must be fit and combines in a sensible way deserves more imo works both ways as with everything

Those sales are pretty meaningless in the scheme of things other than those farmers are making sure they have a secured supply
its straw and its a price what more do you want on a price tracker thread
