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
- It was dry and clear across most of the region this week, with falls of 10-15mm of rain on average. Temperatures continue to trend below average.
- Prolonged wet conditions have meant that with almost every stream running, full dams and wet crops, there is a considerable harvest risk ahead, with concern about the crop protein levels.
- While stripe rust has been widely reported and mitigated where possible across the region, there are also reports of crown rot affecting crops, which was not initially expected.
- Whilst the overall wet conditions are causing concerns for many growers and producers across the region, low rainfall areas are seeing good growing conditions, with the potential for exceptional yields. However, cooler temperatures are still causing some concern.
- Demand for hay has stabilised, as the availability of green feed has eased the most pressing requirements. However, feedlots are still sourcing where they can. Hay and silage producers are out on paddocks further south. Good quality old season hay is still being sought although most demand is in relation to the new season.
- No change to pricing this week.
- Cereal hay: +/-0 ($240 to $270/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Lucerne hay: +/-0 ($380 to $420/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Straw: +/-0 ($75 to $135/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Pasture hay: +/-0 ($220 to $250/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.
