Silage / Straw / Hay Price Tracker

[som farmer]

thankyou, I can enter negotiations with an idea of price, same as we think, it's no good screwing anybody we regulary use, there's always another day, and he didn't screw us last winter.

asking 90, but good hay

 

[roscoe erf]

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

heard its even cheaper now

What would people suggest a fair price is for 2nd cut silage anytime before end of September, could take a 3rd cut if they want at the same money. Growing well but they're to apply fert if they want to. Last cut was 2 weeks ago. 2 fields of equal size totalling 18 acres with good access in Cheshire. Clay soil if that makes any difference... Thanks

What if anything have you been offered? Do you have farmers that you think might be interested? With plenty of fodder about i think your looking at £20/acre ish

 

[farmgineer]

Thanks, tbh I'm not sure they will be. I usually make for myself but I've already got double what I need for winter and there is only so much yard space you can cover with bales... I'm really after a cheap way to clear the grass without laying out for loads more bales to hang around next year... That said, if no one wants to pay id rather top it and reincorporate the grass into the ground to save on fym spreading next year. Not sure it works like that, but that's what ill be telling myself when I'm driving round the field

Get some tack sheep in and save the fuel

That's a fair idea, I get sheep on it in winter to tidy it up... I will phone the guy up and see if he wants to start early. Cheers

Sounds like round bales of hay and silage are cheap. Phones never stopped with people offering fodder.

Sounds like I need to pull my finger out and finish clearing the old silage wrap out of the hay shed.

I know. I didn't make a blade of fodder last year. 132 bales wrapped and in the stack this time
