I’d rather buy corn than fert, that’s a fact!Speaking to a neighbour yesterday,complaining about the lack of grass and that he’s still feeding the ewes. Asked if he’d bought any fertiliser “ Na na it’s ower dear”

50 kg of fert would feed far more stock than 50 kg of corn.I’d rather buy corn than fert, that’s a fact!
But would 120kg of corn feed more stock that 50kg of fert?50 kg of fert would feed far more stock than 50 kg of corn.
Don’t know but at least with the fert they feed themselves.But would 120kg of corn feed more stock that 50kg of fert?
Swings and roundabouts.But would 120kg of corn feed more stock that 50kg of fert?
Not if it doesn’t rain… £1000 buys me 4t off grass nuts. Or 1.5t of fert. At least with the corn you get the added fert value of the muck coming out the other end50 kg of fert would feed far more stock than 50 kg of corn.
What do you feedgrass nuts to ?Not if it doesn’t rain… £1000 buys me 4t off grass nuts. Or 1.5t of fert. At least with the corn you get the added fert value of the muck coming out the other end

Surely better feed than straw?Is threshed hay worth feeding to sucklers? If so, at what money please? Been offered some around £40/t and thinking of putting it in the shed as insurance
be nearer £35 a ton nowHoping for £30 a bale for Barley and £27.50 for Wheat.
@ £30 a ton haulage Ahhhhh. Had not quite appreciated haulage cost as that high and that's at 48 bales a load.
All depends on how well it was made, i have had some that was ok for buffer autumn feed for sucklers and some that had less feed value than wheat straw. Its usually anything from a cheap to clear £5/bale up to about £12 /bale for roundsIs threshed hay worth feeding to sucklers? If so, at what money please?

Never having had anything to do with threshed hay I’m judging it against a conventional hay crop, which probably isn’t fair- this doesn’t have any nose, it’s obviously course and I can’t get far enough in to the bale to find any colour. I won’t be short of straw so don’t need to buy it based against straw but still seems cheap enough IF they’ll eat it?All depends on how well it was made, i have had some that was ok for buffer autumn feed for sucklers and some that had less feed value than wheat straw.
