Struggling to find any straw up here, paying £90/tonne for half a load and lucky to get any

Thanks

Looking for around 2000 small bale meadow hay. Must be nice stuff.
Bale packs preferred.

I have been approached to sell my winter barley straw this year.I dont want to get teh max straw yield but would rather cut high and then allow the straw to be baled. I would need to charge a per bale rate for the straw rather than an area payment. Can anyone advise on a fair price? Thanks

 

[snipe]

Will depend on bale size. In a normal year £40/t they pay baling and any turning costs. But this year there is not much straw left on farm plus the dry weather things might be different. I'd wait till harvest to agree a price.

 

[Devil's advocate]

I'm told that straw has gone from £10 a bale to £16 a bale in a week.

Glad I've a big carry over, because hardly anything out there in the fields.

Demand picking up for round bale haylage, £30 to horse people, £20 for larger loads for buffer feeding to cows in the field.

i would think barley would kick off £40 to £45 ton but who knows with this weather , still plenty of straw about despite what you may have heard, price has eased a little

 

[BSH]

Thanks, that gives me something to start with.

Walking our crops today there will be a fraction of the straw this year , it ain't going to be very tall.

Am understocked so selling grass ex field. One field is just improved grass no clover and the other is more meadow like.

What should I charge per bale if they do all the work?

Am in the South West.

 

[Poorbuthappy]

I pay £5/ bale for low quality pp. That's enough for what it is.

sell by weight adjusted for moisture content only way to be fair to both parties as far too many variables otherwise

That's round bale hay btw, but the agreement is the same for haylage. If i were caught out with the weather and had to make lots of bales of wet silage i would be looking to renegotiate.

£30/ acre get it gone

Does anyone have a current price on wheat and barley straw that can be expected per acre in the midlands? Had an offer for my straw but not up with the current prices
