During drought, timely, independent and credible information on the price and availability of grain and hay becomes even more critical for dairy farmers. As part of the industry's drought response, Dairy Australia has commissioned Australian Crop Forecasters and the Australian Fodder Industry Association to provide weekly Grain and Hay reports. The reports cover national feed market trends and provide detailed information for 14 dairying regions.
