HAY HAY HAY - Grow your own or stock up now!
As we cruise through Autumn and head towards winter, now is the time to be planning your stock feed, will you grow your own this year or do you need to buy Hay? Either way Hunters can help.
Hay Report
Prolonged dry weather dominates Southwest Victoria, Central SA, and Southwest WA, with some areas seeing no substantial rainfall for months.
Limited water availability and feed shortages are increasing reliance on hay.
Lucerne prices are steadily climbing across Darling Downs, Bega Valley, and Goulburn/Murray Valley due to limited supply and interest from buyers prioritising high-quality feed.
In areas like Central West NSW and Southwest Victoria, farmers are holding onto hay supplies for personal use, citing the unpredictability of future weather conditions.
Buyers are encouraged to feed test and view fodder before purchase to ensure the quality of feed.
All Hay sold via Hunters is feed tested and guaranteed quality.
Contact Hunters commodity team to find the best Hay for you, or contact our Agronomy team if you are keen to grow your own, because now is the time to be planting your seed.
