You wouldn’t believe the amount I have kicked into touch. Too many are the result of a mating and are complete imbeciles
On the plus side, I have some wonderful customers, some of decades standing.
Edit.
As an explanation to my ‘retard’ comment. They came to Wiltshire early one morning to collect auction straw, their loaded lorry met a good friend of mine in a similar matching lorry and drag who said he received a single finger gesture for no reason whatsoever. Upon enquiries made it seems this one spent rather too long in the birth canal at calving.

sometimes think there are 3 bidders at grass keep/straw auctions, two farmers and the auctioneer.
the farmers boast about how much they 'had' to pay, and the auctioneer quotes high prices, in his mkt reports. Which then sets the trend for the next sale.

I used to hate straw/fodder auctions as in a small room it felt like I was bidding against no one except the auctioneer
but actually they do suit us now as we have no idea how much standing straw we need from one year to the next. I can't expect neighbours to sell us some one year and then not buy anything the next yearDeeGee

“Are yew inferring that straw is automatically discounted if one is retard?”
“Ale hev yew know my good men, thet ey em 67 years of age: end es such, ey have been retahed for several yahs nah: end ey ken thus assure yew thet ey hev nevah evah benefitted from discounted straw sales just because of may age!”
“So do please be so kind young men, as to desist from conducting your education in the public domain!”

But when straw is not so plentiful you have a few straw dealers who don't care that much how much they pay having a bidding war in a small room, then the whole country is supposed to except that as the normI used to hate straw/fodder auctions as in a small room it felt like I was bidding against no one except the auctioneer
then walk out saying thats that job done

I bet he did the deal at harvest, with a very honest supplier.

I didn't go back to double check but I'm sure there was barley straw in big squares in an auction including delivery local to Cullompton (mid devon) £120/ton and not finished, Wheat was £90ish at the same time
