Thats about right landroverroy, the harvest has been late this year in most of Scotland and there is a lot of bales still in the fields presumably drying off or tractors can't get on. Adding to this is some farmers with biomass boilers (government funded) are paying over the odds for straw to burn in them and are buying up all the straw. They are even burning spent brewers grains that a lot of farmers supplement their beasts with - there was something on landward or countryfile where a farmer was burning barley that wasn't fit for whiskey production. It's a funny old world....
