Not bad here, I'm sure I've shifted more hay from sept to end of dec '14 than I had in the same period in '13, which was a similarly mild winter. Still got 6 months or more to new hay so I'm relatively confident of getting rid of the majority of it. But then all my customers bar one are non-farming ones, which helps. After the disaster summer of 2012 I'm not too unhappy to have some carry over, means I'm ahead of the game if we have (another) bad summer this time.
