Im guessing his COP will be higher than his crop output this year, very kind of you to underwrite his potential losses.Very charitable of you. I am happy to purchase from you on that basis please and then will sell it on at a hefty markup.

its the same every yearWe seem to have this argument every year.
The answer is to find someone locally you trust, agree a price for every bit standing and get it baled and gone. OSR, bean haulm, the lot. Don't leave the arable farmer stuck with anything in the swath.
Rotary combines should be bannedIt will hold up following operations especially if it gets wet & the balers won't pick it up if really beaten up by rotary combines and has no length.

I'll do some costing & let you know.
But it will be in excess of £250 per ton barley & £200 per ton straw.
Hardly anything there, on good land.
Look at it this way if you bed down with a straw chopper/ bedder the straw is shorter so would save you money on fuel. So you could argue the straw could command a higher price . But us arable boys with rotory combines are not greedy we just like to help the poor straw buyers out by doing some of their work for them .Rotary combines should be banned

I dont think the straw is given away.As I am a arable farmer, and we're all going on about straw prices ,how much can we rep off livestock farmers for straw, they cannot afford those prices at the moment we're all struggling , and don't forget most of the crops we grow go into the livestock sector, the crops grown it's in the name feed wheat , feed barley if we don't look after the livestock sector we will have no market for this product, I now we export a lot feed grains but is drives down the grain prices , because of the buyers are burying grain from around the world. When we go and visit our daughter and son-in-law in WA Australia , I like how the australians farmers stick together , when one part of the country in a drought with nothing left to feed their livestock the arable boys bale whatever they can for them and they send it to the areas where it is need. It's called the straw run, you can YOU TUBE it. We see this taking place, and it's very emotional to see it all being pulled together , all done free of charge because they look after one another. this is typical row of straw from 2019 harvest baled of the farm.View attachment 883332View attachment 883333View attachment 883334
Been told barley 100 del N Devon , but some not giving prices !!
being quoted £85 good barley straw delivered now, I know our supplier is worried about amounts of straw, also got a sneaky suspicion, he's already got a lot in barns. Don't blame him either, he's always fair with price, except hay now, very short where he is, and dear! but got some elsewhere.

Roughly how much is rape straw going to be worth acre / ton ?
Just to give a guide as normally chop but may bale this year

Doesn’t make much less than wheat straw around here, a lot of people like it for bedding sheep as it seems less prone to give feet problems. Personally I only buy barley myself.Roughly how much is rape straw going to be worth acre / ton ?
