Very cheap wheat straw at our local standing straw sale today, £40-£70 an acre.

Maybe my shed full of wheat straw at £80/t will look dear come harvest? 
If diesel stays high then baling/stacking and hauling will add fair amount per tonne onto the price!

This is a better way of putting it .
I suppose if you buy knowing the arrangement then you are prepared to take the risk of it getting wet on a Sunday .
The vendor above doesn't ban Sunday work just aks to avoid if possible ....but I do know that before they combine they ring you up to make sure you can get it baled ...i.e. They won't combine your straw on a Sat afternoon if you can't get it baled . In fact they won't combine it any day if the weather is dodgy until till the straw purchaser has been contacted to make sure they can get it baled . ......can't be more 'Christian ' than that .
.....and I've even known them go out and stack up straw for a purchaser to save it getting wet.

I had it reckoned up to a fair bit and it didn’t leave what would appear to be enough for the seller
I suppose that explains a lot in farming at the moment
Between £40-60 i heard but not first hand. About 1200 acres of extra standing wheat straw forsale in herefordshire i reckon this year. £40-60 is where it wants to be every year imo.

Sounds ok at that
Anyone know how the Sedgemoor straw sales went
Prices were well down on the past couple years. Lots more entered. Can’t quote on the wheat but the barley on the first night averaged about £74, £70.54 on the second night. I’d say there were far more lots not making reserve & not sold compared to usual.
