Straw market analysis.

[gone up the hill]

There are ways of doing it tho,just need to work with other farmers.Its what I do,selling maybe 30t of excess barley a year,works very well specially in a year like this.

Aye but they are tightening up on assured farms using non assured grain/ straw and no doubt that will also include home grown stuff before long.

A FA farm should only be using FA straw, they certainly say that about grain, only a matter of time before they clamp down on straw as well.

yes but this is farm assurance.how can they not buy assured straw

 

[Properjob]

Livestock farmer friend/neighbour of mine left a voicemail this morning saying that barley straw is being quoted at £150/t delivered mid Cornwall, most merchants are reluctant to take orders for late on in the season. Will be a serious situation this winter. Not only was a difficult harvest had by many in August, September was worse which is unusual, many Dairy animals now being housed. Its been a perfect storm for straw this Summer/Autumn on the back of empty sheds from last winter.

 

[yellow belly]

any one can have my straw for £80 a tonne next year ex field

It won't happen. If 3 Sisters can pick chicken meat off the floor and re use it whilst still having the RT logo on their products then we should be ok using any straw for bedding the floor...
