Silage / Straw / Hay Price Tracker

good job we bought, at £85 delivered, and another load coming ! But these prices, are just farmers, having to buy a bit, to use, it will settle down, the high prices, just means sellers will hold, in the hope it will increase. Nearly nov, that's a months use saved, at those prices, it will be treated like gold dust, and, all of a sudden, it's not quite so short !

When I looked in july most of the country had an average year over the previous 12 months.
Just wasn't in the usual pattern.

Forage in the SW is mostly plentiful, some maize is very late maturing and is still 2 weeks away.
We could have a lot of rain in the next 2 weeks

Down on the low lands most maize cut . Biggest crops ever .Lots of people I know were looking to sell 10 /20 acres because didn't have room.

God you are well on top of everything, would be almost a fantasy to farm like you for myself.

the early bird catches the worm, we have known, we were in trouble, forage wise, and have been proactive, 3 dry summers, and buying fodder, makes you sort things out, when you HAVE to buy, it's usually a sellers mkt, all we do, is keep an ear open, and keep buying 'bits', as opposed to having to buy big lumps. We already have offers, of local grass silage, if we run short. So, we can go into winter, knowing we should be ok, till spring, if we have a damp summer, the reserves, will be replenished, thankfully. If not, we shall be looking from may/june for fodder.

I suspect that after this weeks price hike straw has priced itself off the market,but we will have to see -

[livestock 1]

Can’t see it been dear this year

I was wondering where it will be. Everything seems dear this time

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Beet and Maize being quoted in line with last year- hay a tad dearer - silage hard to move and straw has priced itself off the market imo

 

[Shebb90]

£18-25 locally. Thank goodness i dont need any.
Wheat planted everywhere and looking well so standing straw trade will be back on the floor next year

Very little gone in around here I would say

perhaps the only time, this winter, bearing in mind, all the posts, referring to RT, that straw is used, in abundance, is just prior to an inspection.
The longer sellers hold onto straw, means, as the winter proceeds, the more there is, on the market.

I made an invoice out yesterday for 2 bales of straw £142,jobs fxxxcd

Embarrassing

Maybe us guys that sell and deliver should be selling it at last years price and delivering for free, oh and by the way I need 75 weaned suckled calves last years price and delivered free to EX6 please. Embarrassing is offering a farmer £30 ton for straw in the field and thinking he should be grateful.
