    I'm hearing 20, but at that price I'll use woodchip instead.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Barley straw can't be got down around here. It was making around 16/bale out of the field. Wheat straw can't be sold.

    Got 100 round bales of barley straw delivered at start of august from Louth - £19 stg delivered. Good dry short straw, baled just before weather turned bad in august.
    Was in local merchants that same weekend and he had big 8x4x4s and was looking £60 for them. Was back in last weekend and they had risen to £82 and were flying out the door.

    20 euro round bales delivered SB


    Good quality but outside looks weathered, but totally dry,
    Bales very well packed and reckon 180 to 200 kg mark.

    Regular guy asked 26 and doing me a massive favour at 25, got some shock when I told him to keep them.

    To phrase it another way we probably spread more sludge/compost and muck than harvested tonnage annually. People love if they can tip stuff over winter over here, we just pay for haulage in.

    Its easy farm backed by a boss who has a very big checkbook and knows what they want. This ground had sludge than subsoiled with a pass off discs and seeder with a green manure.
