The Farm Tender Hay Report – Volume 9

Hay still coming out of the woodwork.

The once white-hot Hay market is now on about medium heat as demand retreats to some form of normality, but new parcels are still hitting the market as sellers who held onto their cards are entering the market.

The main hot spot for demand is still New South Wales and Queensland as conditions continue to deteriorate in most areas. Some livestock producers have well and truly opted out of the market and have chosen to cull any unwanted stock. The livestock market throughput in these areas is 30 percent up on this time last year.

The good news is that the Hay growing areas of Victoria and South Australia have received some rain which has encouraged Hay Crops and Pastures out of the once dry soil. We need these areas to produce good Hay yields so we can replenish supply levels

Prices for Cereal and Pasture hay lifted somewhat in the last fortnight while Protein Hay remained steady
