Seems very cheap to me but I guess it’s location, location, location.
Just loaded some barley straw here (last seasons) at £100/t ex farm.

Who ever is paying that is mental. Get it delivered a lot less.

What can you get it delivered in for?

Also it might be cheaper from up country but how many claddy bales etc will you get in each artic load V buying it from a local farm?? where you know its 100% dry straw!

Trouble is he’s run out now and the straw he has bought off the field hasn’t been cut.
I think they call that supply and demand

Again, hoping it went to 150/ton. Profiteering.

I did sell straw the previous year at the End of season at £150/T. I like a little gamble now and again

I always reckon straw from up country to be better quality. Certainly don't get clatty bales.

Bloody hell, we can get feed quality barley delivered down to Wales for 95-100 a tonne.

If you made clatty bales last year, youve a special talent.

just paid £90 ton barely straw delivered, from our usual supplier, bit steep, but he didn't sting us all winter.
but... what should we be paying for hay, delivered ?
