[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 6494974, member: 818"] I have no idea, but one has to suspect that it may not be worth much more than a non organic conventional bale, on the basis that organic feed will generally be bought in by organic farms who will want commercial quantities, and larger bale types, with prices to match, while small bales are generally bought by horse owners who are unlikely to specifically need organic hay for their nag, and thus won't pay over the odds for organic hay. Obviously you might find a specific customer who is desperate to feed organic hay to their horse, but its not going to be a widespread demand. On the basis that large bale non-organic hay is probably no more than £50/tonne ex farm (if that this year), and non-organic small bales can easily be £4/each to the end user, ie already pushing £200/tonne, there doesn't seem to be much room for an organic premium in small bales.
