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
- With average falls of 10-15mm of rain across the region this week, clearer days were limited by consistent rain over most days.
- Ryegrass and clover pastures around Burnie are offering good high quality green feed for livestock.
- Wet paddocks are still causing accessibility issues and impacting the condition of crops sown. Many growers are looking at pasture and paddock rehabilitation measures.
- High yield winter wheat sown late in the south of the region on sloping ground is doing quite well, taking advantage of well-drained soils.
- Calving continues across Tasmania and is being supported by plentiful and high-quality green feed throughout the region.
- Hay demand is slow in the region, with almost all hay and fodder supply coming in from the south so transport costs need to be factored into the equation. Growers are actively out in paddocks inspecting damage and assessing crops.
- No change to pricing this week.
- Cereal hay: +/-0 ($240 to $275/t) Prices remain steady this week.
- Lucerne hay: +/-0 ($290 to $350/t) Prices remain steady this week.
- Straw: +/-0 ($140 to $200/t) Prices remain steady this week.
- Pasture hay: +/-0 ($185 to $240/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.
