Blah blah blah
No its conventional straw , has gone up 10 quid this week alone

If its gone up £10t this week then before long it will totally overheat and come crashing back down again!

Guess you don't want to supply downthis way seeing as you haven't got back to me with a quote. Have you thought about a career as a machinery salesman?

Can you message me a postcode

@Sid,

Nearly all the straw at sedge today was unsold, lot after lot of delivered in Barley/wheat to £76/78 ton was withdrawn...

Some round bale wheat collected made £12/ bale.

And some Large square bale wheat ( 500 kilo bales ) made either £35/38 bale ( cant recall which ) delivered in.

Farmers are not prepared to pay anymore and vendors need to be more realistic.

Artic after Artic are hauling straw down the M5/A303 at the moment, must be half a dozen loads every hour or so!

Ha Ha I can see why you are in sales for you could sell the eskimos their own ice and they would end up thinking they are getting a good deal

Joking aside, are the Dutch buying much straw now and what are they doing with it??

I kid you not it can cost less to send an artic from Devon to Siena in Italy, then it can to get an artic to run up to Newmarket.

That is madness but I guess it all comes down to having a load to go the other way or not.
