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
- Some slight showers but no significant rainfall has been measured across many parts of the region. Some concern being expressed about the continued dry conditions.
- Cropping schedules may be amended if the dry weather continues. Some movement towards grazing cereal varieties confirmed as growers try to increase options and reduce need for additional inputs.
- While some with contracts in place will maintain their hay production program there are some indications some farmers appear to be heading towards preferencing additional pasture rather than cereal hay to reduce input costs.
- Increase in demand for hay for beef cattle and sheep in the upper parts of the region which may see prices increase over the coming weeks. Slower sales so far in the southern part of the region.
- Most growers are very busy preparing for or commencing sowing. Hay and fodder sales have remained steady with increased enquiries from sheep producers as they are starting to look for feed as the green pick dries off.
- No change to pricing this week
- Cereal hay: +/- 0 ($200 to $240/t). Prices remain steady.
- Lucerne hay: +/-0 ($330 to $350/t). Prices remain steady depending on quality.
- Straw: +/-0 ($100 to $120/t). Prices remain steady.
- Pasture hay: +/-0 ($180 to $220/t). Prices remain steady.
- 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.
