Depends on the baler but anything from 380 kg to 650 kgWhat does a well packed,dry 8x4x3 bale of straw weigh? Nobody sells by weight over here. Always avoid 8x4x4 bales after getting caked in the middle.
Bales from the south will weigh far less than a english bale, anywhere between 250kg to 360kg over here8 foot long by 4 foot wide by 3 foot high…quadrant? Asking £50 delivered.
Bring back the old D1000 ....... best paying big square bale ever .....could deliver them to the horse people saying "it's a big square bale lots in it ". ..... now they still want .' the big square bale' but fail to see that it's now a bigger big square bale and they want to pay the same price !Why oh why do there have too be 20 variations on the size of square bale?! It makes things so dammed complicated!! Why can’t we just have Heston, Mini Heston & Quadrant then I suppose we’d better keep conventional too too keep the old timers happy…
baled 160 yesterday the custoumers luv d1000 s.Bring back the old D1000 ....... best paying big square bale ever .....could deliver them to the horse people saying "it's a big square bale lots in it ". ..... now they still want .' the big square bale' but fail to see that it's now a bigger big square bale and they want to pay the same price !
.....but they were buggers for loading on a lorry !
depends on qualty, bale type, location, order size.What price is hay per tonne?
Asking 60 to 70 most of them , only way is downWhat price is hay per tonne?
Straw and fodder is going to be peanuts if we get this hot spell end of this monthFodder sale in Thainstone last Tuesday none sold ,couldn’t reach the reserve.
Isn't it always?Drove to Banbury and back today , un cut straw in waiting as far as the eye can see , it's all in the hands of the weather now
Is too late, straw supply is compromised due to ground conditions, calendar and weather forecast.
You need to understand that a Devon arable farmers thinking is very different to a 4000 acre man up this way and beyond.It is still July for gods sake!!
Harvest is far from a right off yet!
If we still have this weather in a months time and no dry spell in the next month then your comments above may be correct but not in July they are not!
