How much are Norfolk/ Suffolk based straw power plants paying for barley hesstons this year?
You can never draw a conclusion on price. Old contract , new contract !, spot price when they are short . But I've said before , using the power station price as a guide is unfair for those who try to do so , unless you are in a position to send it there . They cant buy all the straw

No cant say I have ever heard of them? Rarely ever sell anything but decided to not fill so many sheds with cattle this winter and hence the surplus.
Have you dealt with Baleman Services before? Googled them but cant see a website?

I think the market will be saturated with silage this year unless this rain carries on to make a very long winter.
All you can do is ask though. He doesn’t do a huge amount of silage, mainly hay, straw and haylage.
