Saw the first load of big straw bales coming in yesterday; ?someone
getting their supplies in earlier than usual because of all the wet?

could well be, not only that but it will probably only get more expensive
Also if grass is wet and lush they might want to feed a bit of straw with it

Nice not to have to worry about straw:-)

A combined team of neighbours got through 2/3rds of my Barley Weds/Thurs. Combine back in the barn.
Unfortunately there has been some re-growth with one out of five tillers green. Patches deemed unfit have been left.

The chap taking my grass nipped in and did 2ha of meadow grass round baled for haylage in the same period.
