Any quality Hay out there has a 3 in front of the price.

Good news this week is that the NSW Government announced Freight subsidies for any Hay bought backdating to the 1st of January 2018. See the link to the article here https://www.farmtender.com.au/primeagnews/nsw-government-offer-transport-subsidies-for-drought-ravag...

As mentioned in the headline, any quality Hay that is out there is worth around or beyond $300 right now. But the fact of the matter is that many of these parcels are not out there or unattainable.

We have had a good run selling small and eco Bales in the last fortnight. Demand has come from the Produce Stores, who are looking to keep supply up to their customers

We have seen a big spike in demand for Cereal and Rice Straw. Many are taking pre-orders for Rice Straw before they enter the paddock with the Mower Conditioner
