[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 4263128, member: 1048"] Unreal amount of straw coming down here from Kent etc, I honestly have not seen so many lorry's hauling straw south at this time of year as the last 3/4 weeks. Go two miles along the M5 and you will pass a lorry, go another 2 miles and pass another one and so on. Some merchants are talking up trade, namely the ones that are going out bidding up stupid money the last 2/3 weeks for baled straw, trouble for them is they need it to get really dear to cover the daft prices they are paying for it ( when they don't need to be ) Seen the trade talked up many times like this before but as time goes on it never gets to the highs a few predict! Feed barley is what £120t? well I have never know straw to make anymore than £20 less than grain so unless grain rises a lot then this would have to be the first year that grain is worth less than straw if the prices some predict did actually happen. Farmers would then look a bit stupid for chopping straw when the straw is worth more than the grain................................... [/QUOTE]
