SELLING HAY & STRAW IN RURAL FRANCE

In today's episode of farming life at La Forge, Dad has taken over the camera and he will be talking to you about how we sell Hay & Staw, how much we sell it for and how we weigh it. As we are getting ready for winter, he will show you our set up for making sure we can start every tractor when we need it with the batterie charging station and the New baterie booster JS3000 sent to us by TOPDON

Great to see you back on the screen great way to sell the bales, be a big variation around eyrecourt with the weight of the bales, when they would be selling them.😂😂

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Will do soon 👍 Thanks

[@davidholden4548]

Hi Declan. Another interesting video I always learn something from you

[@thomas_4426]

Here in Donegal, Ireland we're paying 3-4 euro for the (small) bales of hay much the same for the small bales of straw.
Round bales are going for 30-35 euro.
And round bales of straw are going for 25-30 euro. Good Wexford straw 30-35.
(Chamber baler 4x4)
None of that weighing craic here, typical Irish thing ! 😂😂

[@garymadden2656]

Great video Declan/Laura 👌

[@jimgannon1917]

Love the video ,Laura get your ass home and help the old lad.
Lol 😆 🤣

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Haha I will when I finish filming Australia 👍

[@dannyjones7181]

No hurry on you coming back Declan is doing a great job!! Keep your ass working over there 😂

[@andrewmellon5072]

Thank you for another interesting, informative and enjoyable video. Batteries have improved beyond measure and become much cheaper, relatively, in last in the last 50 years.looking forward to some more Australian farm videos.

[@user-qj2ge5hz4d]

Are you saying that the Irish man would take the extra bale and say nothing, and we the island of saint and scholars. 😂😂😂

[@michaeloconnor9809]

It's a great sign of the buyers going back years.

[@michaeloconnor9809]

It says a lot in their favour that your bale buyers take 150 and leave 1. What would Paddy do. He would take them aĺl and as regards paying a lot of them are good with " il see you again""

[@PhilipCahill]

How big of a deal was it to move from Ireland to France and buy a farm I presume there’s a lot of paperwork and applications for various things I’m guessing ?

[@madeljacky]

we sell our straw and all the time i get from customers is your round bales are too dear, i can buy bales at £18, i tell them i can bale you bales and sell them to you at £18 if you want but there wont be much in them, i could never understand why bales here are never sold by weight

[@johnshanahan9322]

Very interesting to see a Irishman farming in France, are you long farming in France and where in France do you farm

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Farming in the Creuse department. Been here about 16 years now I think. Thank 👍

[@joaoverissimo1440]

Prices in Portugal are more than 200 euros 1t of hay, I heard that people are buying in France and selling in Portugal. Any one knows what is the cost of transportation per ton from France to Portugal?

[@finbarreburn5112]

We can't see what goods you are explaining
Re-focus 📷

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Sorry about that! We'll reshow it again 👍

[@BrunyeeSalers]

Nice to see you Declan, glad all is well and you are both well and healthy

[@tomotoole7241]

Great video Battery with year's guarantee would die day after guarantee was up some laugh 😂😂😂

[@robquine1403]

Great vidio as usual

[@mrvanahead]

90 euro per ton for straw baled isn't too bad i guess. Last year we were closer to 110/115 for local straw here in the Netherlands. And that was a good year. Later on we got German straw for 120-130 (depending on the delivery date). Not sure what it will be at this moment, heard something 117/118 delivered from France (have to unload myself). That wouldn't be too bad considering the year. Although i don't know how the weather was in France during wheat harvest. 😊

[@patrickgill-w2j]

[@quadrapoint]

Hi just found your channel I notice you like Ford tractors did you bring them over from Ireland. I am looking for a 4610 for use on my property in the Mayenne district any idea where I might find one either in France or Ireland do you have a website

[@emilygardiner9711]

We brought the 4630 and 7740 from Ireland, the rest we bought in France. Try Leboncoin or Agriaffaires in. France or Done Deal in Ireland. Good luck. Declan
