80x90 x8' wheat straw around the £18 didn't stay long as lots wasn't getting sold . Trouble was Gregg,the auctioneer,didn't know what he was selling .Mike Evans used to visit every lot prior to the sale and he would grade it in his notebook and he knew what he was selling. Gregg doesn't bother and it showed .
