You’re talking shiteVolume of use = buying power, the more you buy the cheaper it becomes.

I’ve bought mine, I’m not bothered, just wondering why arable men will sell to the power stations at £50/T but if you’re a fellow farmer it’s £70-£100How come? MY toys aren't out the pram because I cant buy straw as cheap as some else.
sorry[emoji850]
Can't answer what other do, but would guess quality.I’ve bought mine, I’m not bothered, just wondering why arable men will sell to the power stations at £50/T but if you’re a fellow farmer it’s £70-£100
It’s all good quality this year, who will of baled anything crap in a year like thisCan't answer what other do, but would guess quality.
Have a read of post 209 in the "loads of straw " thread, will tell you all you need to know.You what? Why can’t I pay the same price as the power stations
So this year, you’ve baled all your straw dry (as everyone has) if I came to your farm now and offered to pay you £50/T for every bale you’ve got....would you sell me it?Have a read of post 209 in the "loads of straw " thread, will tell you all you need to know.
Think a lot woukdSo this year, you’ve baled all your straw dry (as everyone has) if I came to your farm now and offered to pay you £50/T for every bale you’ve got....would you sell me it?
Apart from milk the more you sell the more you get paid?Volume of use = buying power, the more you buy the cheaper it becomes.
Sounds expensive can get it delivered in for £95 a ton
Sorry not a chance, have kept about 350 ton for my own use and sold all the rest for £100 per ton or above (barley)x farm, still chopped where the dirt required it.So this year, you’ve baled all your straw dry (as everyone has) if I came to your farm now and offered to pay you £50/T for every bale you’ve got....would you sell me it?
But like milk they are buying huge volumes from multiple suppliers.Apart from milk the more you sell the more you get paid?
Ring up a tractor dealer and get a price for one tractor, then tell them you would will buy twenty, will the price go up or down?Apart from milk the more you sell the more you get paid?

If feed barley grain was £150 delivered what would feed barley grain be worth 10 miles up the road collectedThe thing is fieldfarmer is based in Mid Devon I believe Northeastfarmer, without a shadow of a doubt this area is one of the worst affected drought areas in the UK at this time, most cattle farms are well short of feed stocks going into the winter ( let alone grazing today ) with many farms already having nearly used up all their silage and we are only in August so its not surprising he/ she can command high prices for straw that no doubt has been baled dry and is feed quality regardless of it being wheat/ barley etc and that is worth a few ££ a ton v bought in straw that may well be only good for bedding even if it has been bought for feeding.
Local prices for delivered in straw seems to be £95/110t currently.
And I have driven all over the Country and I would bet you 100 notes that the worst effected part was West Wales by far up to 10 days agoIf feed barley grain was £150 delivered what would feed barley grain be worth 10 miles up the road collected
What’s that got to do with the power stations? If they buy all the straw in the country they are buying it off thousands of farmers....so if i came to your farm and offered to buy every bale you have for the same price as they’re offering then why is my money any differentRing up a tractor dealer and get a price for one tractor, then tell them you would will buy twenty, will the price go up or down?
I was down in Totnes (Devon) today and saw spring barely dead at ankle height , truly shocking.And I have driven all over the Country and I would bet you 100 notes that the worst effected part was West Wales by far up to 10 days ago
