flatout11

lads are paying €19 to €22 for it delivered at home

do you mean 19 or 22 if delivered locally or delivered anywhere?

locally 2 lads draw it every year, then again the draw is only 30 mins to a hour each way depending on where your getting it.....

so your saying they are getting 7 to 10 euros on a haul of 30 miles?? they are taking the mickey, unless they are splitting loads into 5 and 10s etc

yep!!!
half loads is the smallest split (17 to 20 bales) a few have even collect 10 or so out of there yard

i know boys paying €20 for round bales barley straw and they are collecting them in the field he is loading them alright though up donegal direction

All this talk is irrelevant when no one mentions where they are.

Too little saved at this stage in the not so sunny south east.

Probably talking somewhere around €8 per 4x4 out of the field.

a tenner is the norm so far

Insp. Harry Callahan

Sold winter barley straw round bales 14euro loaded in the field in Donegal to a lorryman, 72 bale load, not sure what he was getting for delivering them. Think price will rise though,got a lot of orders/enquires in so far. i would deliver a few load to people,28 bale load, charge depending on distance,between 4 to 7 euro a bale,no more than 1 and half hour tractor drive away though,prefer the shorter distance

DMAXMAN

no point as said earlier discussing straw prices without location. as the saying used to go location location and location

€15 per 4*4 collected west co. meath. good stuff baled bone dry last week. would'nt be hard to be better than d sh1t we got last year!!

stanflt

paid 28 for 100 8*4*4. - could have bought on the flat for 55an acre which after paying baler man would have been cheaper- didnt want to chance it incase it got rain and left with dung- bird in the hand..............

dar31

dont know the price, but the last load was delivered and put in the shed this evening.
all done for another year.

ah bugger, forgot
have to make and cart in 500 small square bales:(
