Answer

Many studies have shown that unless you are getting significant cash for the straw you are better to keep it, as Mr ****** said already. Having said that you can sell it by the acre or by the ton or by the bale. Any way you slice it you won’t get what the nitrogen will end up costing you to replace.

Answer

The cattle rancher and feedlot buy a lot of your corn, barley and wheat to feed their cattle. To refuse to sell any straw to these hard working farmers is biting the hand that helps feed us grain farmers. If there is no meat production in the world grain price would be very cheap. We have to support each other as farmers not only think about ourselves.
