Noticed some in Sunderlands catalogue . 🤷‍♂️
You can cut it after the scheme has ended , the stuff you have probably spotted was cut on the 16th August after the field came out of the scheme . Pop over tomorrow and I will give you a bale to take away and try .
Your ' baling ' mate baled it .

Small wheat £1.50
Big barley quads £16/18, midis £28

Don't think it will ever be cheaper than it is now
Wheat straw at Sedge today, delivered in £80 ton.. ( so what £35/45 t ex farm ? )

No demand for silage at all.

Ex farm large bale hay £8 bale.

No demand at all for any other hay ex farm with the exception of one lot of Ryegrass hay @ large square bales at £33 bale.

Small bale wheat delivered £2.20 bale.

Generally very little demand/ bids for anything and certainly trade for what was sold would be down on the last sale a month ago.

Only about 10% clearance of on farm lots I would say. The worst I think I have seen.
Auctioneer nearly gave up trying with some obviously high reserve lots.
