Bucket, what variety of oats? Do they look like they will yield good tonnes? My oats I grew for feed, are my best looking grain oats, and so I think I can get more cash out of them for grain than for hay. I did a headland for hay, and quit when I found there was limited tonnes. Not very tall, as oats go, but will yield a good grain crop. Gotta be careful with this kind of thing.

Originally posted by grassfarmer View PostYep, I remember discussing this back in the early spring. I said I thought this was the year to grow cattle feed and it's proving to be that on a larger scale than I'd imagined. Never seen as much straw getting baled as there is around here just now. Pastures are generally done around here and I'd guess many will be feeding by September 1st. Herds in the 200-500 cow category. Takes a lot of feed to get them to next June.

Re Straw.
Enbridge is paying something like $55 for large round cereal straw bales that will be shredded over top of the pipeline construction ROW/easement.
Our cereal straw needs to be returned to the previously abused soil, so we aren't baling any of ours for this project. We gave up some income foregoing it.
Imagine 3 bales/acre on a hundred fifty acre field is a cool $24,750

The straw after the MAV chopper very fine. My land needs it more. Especially the "low class" stuff.

All land needs it , even here in the swamp
Whereever the canola straw had piled up around the water runs we just seeded through the piles, (never harrowed) the wheat where those piles was is a lot thicker and heavier
Cant believe people burn it or gove it away . All land desperately needs it !
