The Farm Tender Hay Report – Volume 4
Slight increase in the price of Vetch Hay as demand skyrockets
Hay demand is as strong as we have seen it for some time now with the Monday just gone the busiest day recorded for Hay enquiry on Farm Tender.
We have seen Vetch Hay Prices lift on average around $5 over the last fortnight.
A lot of the trade in the last fortnight has been Farmer to Farmer lots of smaller type parcels as livestock producers brace themselves for what might be a tough late Autumn and Winter period ahead
Vetch Hay was the leading seller for this period closely followed by Oaten and Wheaten Hay. However, there is demand from all states for Clover Hay, and we have also seen a lift in Straw demand and sales.
8x4x3 Bales are by far the most popular type of bale, but we have seen quite a dramatic increase in 5x4 Round Bales sales just in the last week. The Roll deals are more the Farmer to Farmer ones where the freight is kept to a minimum.
The NSW Government has just announced Drought Transport Loans for Farmers looking to purchase fodder. These are 2 year interest free loans of up to $20,000. Read more here https://www.farmtender.com.au/primeagnews/new-drought-transport-loans-to-help-nsw-farmers
