Notes:
Change in price is the change since the last report. Hay quoted is sourced and delivered locally, GST exclusive unless stated otherwise. It should be noted that local prices quoted may not be the cheapest available, sourcing it from another region may be more affordable, and buyers are encouraged to evaluate all options. Prices are indicative to a mid-range shedded product, and based on the best indication of market value at the time of reporting. It should be noted there is a wide variation in quality of hay, prices for a mid-range product will not reflect the weighted average of trade. Prices will naturally vary based on the product quantity and quality, buyer/seller relationship and the size of the trade.The hay report has been commissioned by Dairy Australia to provide an independent and timely assessment of hay markets in each dairy region. This report is created using data provided by the Australian Fodder Industry Association (AFIA). It should be remembered that actual prices may vary for quality or other reasons. Whilst all reasonable steps have been taken to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this report, Dairy Australia disclaims all liability to the fullest extent permitted by Australian law for any inadvertent errors and for any losses or damages stemming from reliance upon its content. Dairy Australia recommends all persons seek independent advice and, where appropriate, advice from a qualified advisor before making any decisions about changes to business strategy.
Commentary
- The region recorded a maximum of 8mm of rain this week. Year to date rainfall is well below average for the region.
- There are reports crops are not as big as originally anticipated and yield forecasts are starting to drop. There have been no major rain events across the region since the end of July. Small amounts of rain have fallen but the cold conditions and overcast weather have impacted crop growth. Growers will be cutting hay earlier with the season quickly coming to an end.
- Livestock are grazing and this continues to impact local trade. Farmers without established pastures will quickly run out of feed with dry conditions. Farmers may opt to take advantage of strong market prices and sell cattle rather than feed over the coming summer months.
- Mainly opportunist buyers that have storage are taking advantage of any good quality fodder on the market. No significant enquiries for new season hay, many will be anticipating pricing and quality.
- No changes to pricing this week.
- Cereal hay: +/- ($180 to $210/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Lucerne hay: +/-0 ($330 to $350/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Straw: +/-0 ($100 to $120/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Pasture hay: +/-0 ($180 to $200/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Please note unless stated otherwise, prices are per tonne, sourced and delivered locally. The price range indicated is for feeds of varying quality with the price range generally indicative of quality of feed. We recommend feed testing and viewing of fodder before purchase to be sure of the quality of feed.
