Quadrants 120 70Are those bales 3ft depth?
Looks a good outfit.

But that sounds an expensive product.
4ft 6 bales have a lot of straw in them . Sounds like they were too cheep last year cos they ought to be £14 this year !I've got a farmer who wants some spring barley straw off the field in 4 foot 6 round bales. He loads and collects it himself. Last year we charged him £14 a bale, what should I be asking for it this year please?
Thanks. We've got a New Holland 750 belt baler and make them a decent weight so there is there is a lot in them.4ft 6 bales have a lot of straw in them . Sounds like they were too cheep last year cos they ought to be £14 this year !
ThanksI’d say 14 was a fair price
Hay ground being flail topped off rather than baled locally which seems madness , just goes to show the fine line between supply/demand.
Sunderlands got 200 bales of hay by Leominster .... they can't get no interest in it at all. There is also a huge stack of silage there .Hay ground being flail topped off rather than baled locally which seems madness , just goes to show the fine line between supply/demand.
There might be a bit of export for the eastern counties as Germany and Belgium are desperate . They have had serious drought .Yes seems everyone has hay or Haylage this year. I’m optimistic on a buoyant price and trade. However it’s looking less likely and the same with the straw job.
Is it also down to lower stock numbers? Everyone culled all passengers/ underperformed last winter?Hay ground being flail topped off rather than baled locally which seems madness , just goes to show the fine line between supply/demand.
Still if we are expected to survive with current livestock prices then hay/silage/straw/corn/fert/machinery etc will all have to drop inline with it. If they want to sell any!!Sunderlands got 200 bales of hay by Leominster .... they can't get no interest in it at all. There is also a huge stack of silage there .
Yes we could do with a few days rain to freshen it up but i always seem overstocked. I dont think there is many sheep men looking for grazing and i usually spout that there isnt the stock about that there used to be but livestock numbers through the markets have been record breaking this yearIs it also down to lower stock numbers? Everyone culled all passengers/ underperformed last winter?
Still areas down here that were pleased to see a bit of rain over the last week though .
I think they would take any offer for it at the moment.... it has to be moved by 12 Aug !Still if we are expected to survive with current livestock prices then hay/silage/straw/corn/fert/machinery etc will all have to drop inline with it. If they want to sell any!!
