Thatching industry faces straw shortage after poor weather

Thatching industry faces straw shortage after poor weather >More in Thatching straw being dried in traditional stooks © Philip Clarke Two poor weather years and a move away from traditional long-stemmed winter wheat have been blamed for a shortage of thatching straw. The National Thatching Straw Growers Association (NTSGA) says there is a national shortage of good quality straw – whether combed or long straw. Thatching straw is a lot longer than straw from modern wheat varieties. The association said two successive wet autumns in 2019 and 2020 had caused growers of specialist wheat varieties difficulties in establishing the crops. The NTSGA said the shortage was affecting the ability of thatchers to source suitable materials to work on roofs of homes and bigger properties, including listed buildings.
