Straw per ton 2020

[Brisel]

But in my instance I'm not sat on the straw , it was delivered to customer used over winter and still not paid for, not the same as grain sat in my shed is it?

What payment terms did you agree with the buyer?

I deal with a farmer on here not selling straw mind, though I have sold straw on here in the past with no problems.
This chap buys animal feed off me, I've never met him as the food stuff is delivered by a lorry which I organised. Mostly done on trust and I have to say he is a pleasure to deal with. Wish I could name him but I don't want anyone else stealing my thunder!

I have a 4 bay dutch barn ny on full of large square wheat straw which I would have sold for £70t but it was too much for someone a couple of weeks ago, I am going to keep for now.

I've just re-homed some round osr bales that have experienced the winter. Astonishingly, the bottoms are hardly leaving a damp mark on the trailer. As only a token required, makes more sense than the over urgency/over price of harvest acquisition. It'll enable me to stay at home and get grass nicely established.

Good service is worth speaking up about! Give the person some credit publicly!

Chop. Be sat a week to dry, then will leave a nasty trail of chaff.

Chop. Even in bone dry harvest years the bales can go damp.

Rotary or straw walker? You won't get a swath worth baling from a rotary, especially if it has had glyphosate pre harvest.

Bale all ours behind a rotary no problem.

I'd find out if someone wanted it first. Can be used very nicely for first layer in cattle pens. I'd have it gone.

I don’t think it’s down to the BPS money. Have spoken and texted numerous times, the answer I get is, You’ll get paid at some point.

I even sorted the transport.

I sent him a text yesterday, was polite, nothing angry. Mentioned that I didn’t want it going to court. Heard nothing. Have just tried phoning, no answer.

rape straw is our preferred bedding for straw yards, use 1/2 as much, and the cattle are twice as clean, as opposed to using wheat or barley straw. Getting it, is the problem.

So how do you value, in monetary terms, rape straw against wheat or barley? Would you price it at the same given that you only use half the amount? I always thought it was discounted against the price of cereal straw
Either way, it’s surely going to be wanted this year

Should be double; often been half.
