    Not sure how many bales/ac it will produce.
    But $10 a bales there won’t be any straw rows in my fields.
    By the time you figure the nutrient loss and concentration of chaff weed seeds left under straw swath after baling 10 bucks does not cut it.I am baling barley straw of my own but can justify for my own use.i would say to sell it in a swath behind a 30 or 35 foot header 20 bucks may be what it is worth.15 for sure.

      Why hasn't any of the combine manufacturers made an attachment to put the chaff on top of the straw so at least some gets baled up?


      I know you can spread the chaff and drop straw but...the weeds seeds and cracked grain could go into a bale. ...wouldn't get 100 percent of it but some would make the bale more valuable?

        The old chaff blowers and wagons and those cyclones worked well. Dont believe they are still in production, not enough mixed farmers anymore.

          Round bales of straw peaked out at $150 in height of the drought.

          I believe you - barley straw hit Aus.$160/tonne in Scotland in 2018 - about $140 Canadian. Not your levels but still high compared to what we are used to here.

            Instead of paying 10 cents a pound for hay.Better to buy barley at 10 cents a pound and feed straw.Trucking cheaper on barley grain also.

              That's my thinking newguy - limit feed corn silage with DDGs for energy/protein and fill up with straw. DDGs at 11c/lb are a way better buy than barley at 10c and you don't need to process them. Seems a lot of guys are hung up on only feeding hay to cows though.
