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
- Light to moderate rainfall this week with averages of around 25mm of rain across the region. With hay cutting continuing, the lack of clear dry days has caused some concern.
- Silage season is continuing, though cutting is a little more sporadic as rain events cause delays. Despite this, the season continues to show great potential with growers taking advantage of windows of opportunity.
- Growers around Invergordon are spraying vetch crops with plant growth regulators to aid in standing it up and delaying flowering as current conditions are not favourable for cutting.
- High yield wheat crops in the north of the region are showing signs of degradation due to adverse weather conditions. Growers have been waiting on aerial spray contractors for fungicide and other applications, but there is a shortage of pilots and equipment due to the increase in demand.
- Some growers in the west of the region are considering ploughing in some rain damaged vetch crops rather than expend inputs to salvage them for this hay season.
- Demand for hay is now static as most dedicated growers are out in paddocks at harvest. Green feed is still available for livestock farms in the region and straw remains relatively plentiful for those seeking it locally, though deliveries are mostly going interstate.
- No change to pricing this week.
- Cereal hay: +/-0 ($170 to $220/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Lucerne hay: +/-0 ($390 to $420/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Straw: +/-0 ($70 to $120/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Pasture hay: +/-0 ($215 to $260/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.
