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 little rainfall across the region this week, clear sunny days and rising temperatures are boosting crop growth.
- Some vetch and barley paddocks have been cut for hay in the north of the region, after having been grazed heavily over the winter. Oaten hay cutting has also commenced across the region from Quindanning to Mindarabin.
- Silage cutting of ryegrass and clover pastures is taking place around Collie, with curing being supported by good conditions.
- The predictions of a bumper wheat crop continue to be on track, with good growth and yield potential throughout the region. Weather is the only major concern in relation to harvest.
- With many growers looking to bring in a bumper crop, concern remains around port storage and export infrastructure. There are a number of growers who have pre-emptively installed additional grain storage on-farm to hold the grain and delay deliveries.
- Demand for hay has flattened, as hay cutting commences across large parts of the region and growers are out on paddocks. There is still plenty of green feed available, and most on-farm stocks are sufficient for the medium term.
- No change to pricing this week.
- Cereal hay: +/-0 ($210 to $300/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Lucerne hay: +/-0 ($350 to $480/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Straw: +/-0 ($100 to $115/t). Prices remain steady this week.
- Pasture hay: +/-0 ($165 to $180/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.
