Some cracking looking crops of winter barley round here. But doubt much of it will be for sale.

Wants to be less

Needs to be more

 

[Derrick Hughes]

My guess is £5 ton dearer .standind crops in South West could be more than that

 

[Derrick Hughes]

The feedback I got from Essex was that standing crops were lighter and costing more
Does anyone else find that winter barley is becoming less desirable .hard and golden and of little use for bedding

Most people that sell private are waiting to see what the auction prices average before they set their price.

Cant see straw going up much more as if it does then it will price itself out of the job.

Off the field prices need to rise this would encourage more to bale and stabilise the price so winter price would hopefully be cheaper

Not down here it doesn't.

Different world .seems they are happy to pay winter prices straight off
Most straw in Essex will go into storage to be resold or held for power stations ,

So what's straw going to price itself out against?
