Years ago hopped on a bus to tour
One near Foresburg. The samples in
The office looked great. But they were from Germany. The board they were pressing out looked pretty sad
Lots of bad batches laying everywhere .
Somebody got to sell a lot of machines, and fancy glue.
Luckily it went under before anyone around here got suckered in.
I asked why they were not running that day. And why all the reject. The man said wheat kernels in the straw screwed up the process , had to be removed before pressing.and it was difficult.
I suggested they not get straw from John Deere owners.Last edited by sawfly1; Mar 9, 2021, 19:36.

I'm roughly 40 miles west of the area. I would venture a guess that last year 80% of cereal acres baled here. Monster stacks of big squares on every quarter. Been more and more bales every year. I was sure guys would get stuck with it by spring but the stacks are mostly gone and I got neighbours pestering me for my bales as running short for bedding. Just amazing where it all went. Some years I sell a bit but try to just bale what I need and chop the rest.

Also west of the area the plant is going in. Like others have said, most of the straw is already being baled to the west and exported over seas or to Ontario and Quebec. The price the plant is offering for the straw dropped seems like enough but what they are offering to bale and stack didn’t seem like enough to entice me to bale for them. They also claimed they want the straw fairly dry and either shedded or tarped. I have a few customers I sell to already that need really dry straw. There is a lot of years in this area where there is only a handful of days to get the straw dry enough especially when most farmers are using dryers now and dropping really wet straw. Sounds like they plan on having an incredible amount of balers and stackers running themselves but it will still be interesting to see if they can bale the amount of they want.
