What would it be just dropped in the swath either per acre or if someone came and baled themselves and paid per bale?

£50-£60 per ton less what someone thinks it costs them to bale it. So roughly £40/tone
£28 a ton in swath that is what neighbour had sold his for .

About £6.50 a bale in the swath (little quads)
Appears very variable. We sold some months ago at £65/acre in the swath but the local agents are ringing around quoting buyers at £40/acre. If it’s not £50 and above in the swath we will chop as it’s not worth the hassle. So much for the livestock boys helping the arable boys! We helped them last year but we won’t do it again that’s for sure.

How heavy is a little quad. Thanks. Been offered £7.50 wheat for full size hesstons (400+ kg ?)

We do quads at home and we get 350-400kg. Weighed a 4x3 barley bale on our weighbridge yesterday which our contractor baled for us, went 450kg.
£7.50 is cheap for 500kg Heston.

300-350kg. £7.50 for a full hesston sounds cheap.

Is it not better just to flog the stuff by the acre and get shot of it? No worry about the baler man and his settings or weighing lorries. Just price and go? I'd insist the OSR straw was taken mind. Do a deal with a few local folk and heavy or light crops one year to the next will even out?

I’ve allways sold by the acre.current chap don’t want it as he has a lot left from last year.ive had offers for it from people I don’t know and biggest worry is not clearing instantly to get land ready for rape and also not paying.had a local straw dealer a few years ago who done everything he was told not to do then took a year to pay after court action threatened.
