Straw Prices 2023

There must be a lot of it baled damp this year?

With sim straw would need to gross over 200e per acre to be worth while with the hardship andd p/k/om cost this year. A few tractor mounted 'Kidd' etc, choppers about now even if combine hasn't a chopper.

Is straw scarce? I presume it is. Seen a silage harvester gathering rows of straw in a field today and just blowing it out the spout back onto the ground. Clever way to clear a field of it.

Risky enough job for a harvester. Could do a lot of damage if he picked up a stone.

You'd be nearly as well off with none than giving 20 in the field for wheaten rounds.

With magic calculators like that, can see why it’s hard to find ground locally to yee.

Field here had 205 8x4x3 s last year winter barley this year finally baled on Thursday after 6 weeks on the ground and got 84 bales.
