Fair few farmers talking about buying straw towards the end of this winter as an insurance policy against high standing straw prices due to this autumns planting disaster.

as we have a on farm fodder auction coming up this week, and we are looking, what is the actual price, that silage/straw/hay bales sell for, not the reserve, which auctioneers run to, and then 'not' sold, but the price at which it is genuinely sold.

There is no trade on bale silage at the moment or likely to be unless you have a neighbour short of feed, hay is moving abit now with vendors needing to empty sheds for lambing and lowering there prices and realising that last years prices were a sellers market and this year is a buyers market, plenty of nice round hay £12-15 . Straw will get dearer as the winter moves on but straw and fodder in general is way back in price and not likely to rise much if at all until late feb when farmers start to work out what they need to see them through imo and even then they might not need much. Last few years fodder has been at the top of the market , now its hit rock bottom .
