Fw: wheat straw

Any time you can add to your soil organic matter you should. My opinion
only. However, if you still wish to sell it, I buy it for near $35 per ton
but I bale it. If my math is correct that comes to around $.61 per bale. Out
of the mow during peak straw season in the winter it can bring as much as
$1.50 per bale but $1.00 to 1.25 is much more common.
Go with God,
Paul
