Not much atm , but a few frosts and a bit of snow in winter will, put a value on it !

I think 3 out of the 4 answers you have already had, have answered your post... If you have the space to store it, and look at the weather forecast going forward, you will sell it ok..

Has anyone solved the problem of storing hay outside?

Standing straw auctions have been daft as usual too.

Don’t be so sure of yourself… maize crops are dreadful .. a lot these dairy farmers already looking for extra fodder/ wholecrop/ bales ect

Very poor growth here this year and even if it changes will never make up the deficit. Plenty of fodder will have to be imported.

Maize is romping away at home. The only crop that's actually not grown worth a sh!t is OSR and that's only because most of it drowned over winter. Some hellish crops of spring barley around and there's a few fields of winter barley waiting for the sun to shine to come so the combines can start to roll.

Trouble is with spring barley straw is it goes in small spaces. Can see hay and straw being well sorted after in a couple of months.

What is the situation in Ireland and on the continent? I was under the impression that northern Europe has had it worse than us.
