Plentiful supply and steady demand is keeping straw values well below year-ago levels. In general, wheat straw yields have been good and last year's large crop meant many merchants had good stocks in store when harvest began. This was also a factor in standing straw sales this year, with wheat values generally ranging from ￡40-￡65/acre, depending on region, which was down by about half on last season's values in many cases. Barley standing straw prices saw a similar level of reduction, with values at ￡60-￡75/acre.
