Well @Hfd Cattle have you made a killing what was trade like

 

[JCfarmer]

Does anyone know of maize silage price per ton?

 

[Werzle]

Well @Hfd Cattle have you made a killing what was trade like

What sold was a good price and it seemed people had picked what they wanted and were prepared to pay for it. What didnt sell didnt seem to get a bid and auctioneer was running it hoping to catch a bid. A fair sale though and better than many of us expected by a long way. Certainly obvious that folks have decided buying fodder is the better bet than buying fert. Hay, haylage and silage was a far easier sell than straw although what straw sold , sold well imo
