I know I’m onto a good thing... so is he! Straw above £120 ex farm is a good price. I keep selling my lambs!

Not the same thing.
If we can get straw delivered in SW for £140, why would anyone pay £160 ex farm?
Its like saying I won't sell my lambs unless someone will give me £160 ex farm, when the same lambs are making £140 in market.
How much will the powerstation pay ?

If you have customers to supply you need straw .
For some reason some merchants don't have loyal regular suppliers so when you get a year like this they have pay top dollar, at auctions and other places
I expect the reason they don't have regular loyal suppliers is they like to go everywhere in a year of plenty to get the cheapest they can, rather than pay a bit more to the loyal supplier who would have looked after them when it was short

Dont think anyone would send to the power station at todays price unless they are on contract or its 2cd rate stuff

In 1979 ton of barley was £130 & a fat lamb £30.
Grain production is hard at the moment & sheep production is very good.
I do both so see all sides of the price debate.
Why is grain production hard at the moment then? Any harder than the sheep job,any harder than beef? Dairy? Sugarbeet? No didn"t think so. Just cos sheep jobs on an up,dont forget years of barely breaking even, far as I know baling straw is a bonus over the corn (that involves abit of extra work) thats my both sides.

Grain production seems to afford a better lifestyle and a lot better tackle

we were explaining rough terrain forklifts, were the pre- telehandlers of yesterday, only yesterday to a couple of the younger generation, l think they thought l was on about the fork lifts you see in factories, it's amazing how times move on, those machines were 'magic' in their day, now largely forgotten, replaced by the ultra usable telehandler, which will no doubt, be replaced by 'something', l cannot even think of a better machine, the same as we said about the RTforklift.

That looks to have had an easy life skiing too through winter
that's a nice machine, couldn't run to one myself, would be handy though
Not really what I asked

I was told by a supplier yesterday that he could get £110 from the power plant. That would be outside contract price

we had a load wheat straw delivered for £105, last week, and a load of decent hay yesterday, at £85, one hears all these massive prices, they make 'headline' news in the farming press, l wouldn't say that it's only us, getting it at sensible prices, so how much of those quoted prices, in the press, just drive prices up ? l expected to pay more for the straw, as it was 'extra' to what we had booked, £10 +. The hay, we were asked if we wanted it, at the same price, through last summer, till now, even better, he was asking if we had any 'odd' stores about, he now owes us, another load of hay !
