It says bales
Hi prices kill the trade
I stopped stocking round hay when it hit £50 as customers think you are Ricky Rip Off and don't come back the next year If it's plentiful, well some do but some don't
Truth is I was making more money years ago when I was buying them for £10 and selling them fir £15

That's what I was offered bales for delivered, Lampeter .my own supplies have run out
What? There are humans prepared to give away their expensively-produced silage (inc all that P&K) for £17/t? The mind boggles.

the only good sheep hay in was the £184/t load. I was the last loser on it but my knees started to give way at that money. The unsold hay couldn’t get a bid at £70, it had no smell and was packed with docks. Unsold barley straw had a reserve of £85. Fodder definitely seemed in good demand while straw was roughly the same it had been all winter. The round bale wheat was lovely grassy straw. I bought that at £70 for a mate
