Farm Tender Hay Report - Volume 3

The Farm Tender Hay Report – Volume 3

Demand increases but still a buyer’s market for now

This fortnight we saw demand increase across the board with most prices staying steady and we slightly downgraded our prices for Clover, Pasture and some Cereal Hay to values they sold at during the last fortnight. So it’s still a buyer’s marker for now.

Demand for 16/17 Season (old season) Vetch Hay and Cereal Hay is increasing, buyers are shopping by the feed test, and heavier bale weights to help with freight costs.

Similar with 17/18 Season (new season) Vetch Hay, anything with a better than average test and heavier bale weights is getting snapped up first.

The importance of good photos

Good close up photos of a representative sample of the Hay listing is a vital part of the buying process for Hay buyers. It’s so easy these days to take half a dozen photos on your phone, and it makes such a difference. So keep those photos coming

For Buyers

We can’t pick the weather and how long the dry will continue, so we suggest that buyers be mindful of their needs going forward as to Hay requirements and getting freight at the right price. The contact details for our sales guys are below of ring 1300 Farming (327 646)

Easter

Our team will enjoy a well earned Easter break, but you can still enquire on Hay by commenting on a listing (the contact details will come up on the screen). However, be mindful of others who will be having a break as well. The best strategy is to plan before or plan after Easter. Have a good one..
