There is some straw in the Sedgemoor fodder sale local to us. Wheat Straw Quadrants 120 x 70 x 8 foot. Sold by the bale - what weight do you think they would be? Apparently around 9-10% moisture. 300kg each?

 

[RAF]

270 kg - 300 kg depends on your baler man etc

 

[som farmer]

the 6 string hay bales, we have just bought, weigh 280 kg, surprised, because they are tight bales, I thought they would have been heavier. That's why they sell, per bale !!!

Should be 330kg.
Many of those that sell by the bale will adjust there settings when baling to that end.

Defiantly but some bales are 7 foot 6 , also depends on the baler , an old 2200 different to a big fergy quad

Thats the risk yiu take buying at auction . And you pay more most of the time for the privalage . I loaded some barley this week @290 kg and they looked heavy . I always aim on the low side as to not get cought out . Thats why i hardly ever get any at auction

 

[Henarar]

How can it be produced for less than £100 per ton and show a profit????

I asked first aww

If you have the grass given to you you only have harvesting costs

Delivering 80 x 90 , .1010 bales of hay over the weight bridge and they are 350kgs each ( 14ton a load) so yeah either very dry hay or a bit slack.

Round bale hay/silage around £14/15 bale ex farm

Round bale barley straw £16 bale

Ex farm above.

Barley straw circa £78/80t delivered.

Hell of a lot of straw on lorry's at the market unsold and what was sold mostly went to farmers that are keeping sheds full instead of buying off the field next summer!

200 bales of 6 string wheat straw unsold just down the road from you.
