Silage / Straw / Hay Price Tracker

[Derrick Hughes]

Your off take would be considerable if your selling forage.
I spent nothing on bagged fertiliser but spent money on clover and hauling/spreading FYM and slurry.

Yes your right
I have stopped growing haylage , to sell, dairy farms that take silage have to bring muck back

Growing fodder to sell has just got scary expensive.

What did you pay for you fertiliser, it cost me £17 bale just for fertiliser

Our first cut was £14 for a 10 bale an acre cut(150kgs an acre of fert)

I don’t want to say how much our second cut fert cost us as I’ll cry you guys will laugh at me!

120- 90 £50 to £65 bale
120-70 £36 to £43 bale
4 string £23 to £45 bale
Round hay £15 to £20 bale
Round straw £10
Straw no interest , the odd lot sold, I did not stay to the end , hay may have dipped later in the sale
In my years going there I have never seen straw trade so bad ,
Maybe it missed Charles Footman , it was strange and sad not seeing him about ,

A lot of folk will have plenty of straw. Plenty filled up and plenty has already been saved

Thats about the best way to look at it.

Weve decided already that were not going to be fertilising for second cut next year.

weve bought 800 Round haylage in already ontop of the 1400 we made and another 900 available for us to buy. im aiming to have 500-750 bales left over for next year to make up for the lack of second cut.

I could do with some round hay at those prices! Cheap straw will help keep a lid on fodder prices

Some organic round hay made £25 ,which is still cheap enough ,I never saw the round hay mind , but was a fair bit entered so some of it must have been OK
