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
- Low rainfall across this region this week with falls ranging from 10 – 25 mm of rainfall. Some areas remain too wet to sow, planting is being held off until longer periods without rain support paddocks to dry out and the sowing schedule to resume.
- Pastures are lush following recent rainfall, some waterlogging remains, but overall plentiful supply of green feed.
- Tilage radish crops sown mid-April are coming up well, should be set for first grazing in 2-3 weeks.
- Plentiful water is available in springs and streams, with some water still lying beside roads and on pastures.
- Some evidence of mice in paddocks and around sheds. Reports of damage to stored silage.
- High input costs remain of considerable concern and are impacting cropping decisions. Fertiliser is currently being applied so the costs are front of mind.
- Hay enquiries have decreased as the green feed on farm gives confidence that earlier contracted winter feed will be sufficient to carry farmers through the colder months.
- Interest in those areas that remain dry has also steadied.
- No change in prices this week.
- Cereal hay: +/-0 ($200 to $240/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Lucerne hay: +/-0 ($530 to $550/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Straw: +/-0 ($80 to $100/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Pasture hay: +/-0 ($90 to $125/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.
