jaideeguy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It's harvest season for the rice and only a few of the farmers have their straw baled. I've been looking around my neighborhood for the baling machine and haven't seen it yet, so I'm asking if anyone has seen it in their neighborhood, preferably near Doi Saket. Would like to buy around 8 bales depending on price, which I've heard is around 50thb/bale. maybe it will lessen the smoke in the air from the annual burning season.................. thanks in advance..........

worgeordie Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I posted a very similar request about a month ago, for straw,hay or big bags wood chippings and got no response,so will be keeping a eye on this post to see if you have better luck. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESmith Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Maybe try driving around. Could try along 1317 east & south of San Kamphaeng. Alternatively, try the small dairy farms, who probably buy the bales for winter feed. Lots of them SE of San Kampaeng. Maybe they'll sell a few? Or if you just want the straw, fill your own sacks once they've cut the rice.... Edited December 5, 2013 by MESmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaideeguy Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 We have plenty of straw in the ricefield next to us and I get the neighbor kids to collect it for our chickens and garden mulch, but it takes up so much space that I would prefer nice neat compact bales and NOW is the time to look for it!! Would like to get it before they burn it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wigantojapan Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 5baht to 10 baht a bale where i live so yes i will sell you bales at 50baht a pop haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaideeguy Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 5baht to 10 baht a bale where i live so yes i will sell you bales at 50baht a pop haha Is that the real price wig?? Seems more realistic, as it is gotten for free from the farmers. I was just basing my 50thb/bale on what a friend told me that he heard. Also I have seen some used as a landscape feature and noticed that the size was rectangular at about a meter long and a half meter square. Is that standard? Thanks for all the tips guys............

cardinalblue Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Today was the last day at the MJ Ag faire and they had lots of bales - try the seed company/veg and the farm animal areas. If you don't request too many, my guess they will give you some or tell you where you can pick them up... This Uni Should be an excellent resource for you...
