Silage / Straw / Hay Price Tracker

Don't think you can complain at £51 delivered!

at £51 a bale last year, to a ton this year, farmer not happy, we have upped to £12 bale, as might lead to further deals.
always a good move to look to be 'fair', you can always go back !

Cost that to make it !!!!

Thats farming and the fodder trade. You either sit on it and wait for the price to improve , if it dont them keep it to next season, agaist that is the shortage of cash some cant afford to hold on and some need the shed room, last years crazy prices for hay have killed the job , but you cant buck market forces and guys who must have it at auctions, why is hay making close on £100/ ton in Dorset on farm Auctions when it can be bought for little more that £40 in the Cotswolds. Some like buying local i suppose

Folk paying £100/ton this year must be mad! I'm all for being fair but you've got to be fair to yourself as well!

What would it be fed to at £100/ton and see a profit ?

Whats that got to do with anything? This is agriculture. Do you think the supermarkets are bothered if there buying stuff at below cost to make it.

but how much is actually sold, hear lots of not sold 'to high expectations', sometimes a difficult answer to get !

 

[Devil's advocate]

How can it be produced for less than £100 per ton and show a profit????

I attended a forage sale on Monday & bought some round bale hay for £18.50/bale , the farmer is just down the road from me & will keep it until I need it so that’s a bonus . He got £47/bale last year so wasn’t particularly chuffed with the price , silly prices last year though .

It can't really but some just want to clear surplus grass so any money is a bonus.

Very frustrating year for us as horse haylage and hay suppliers. We had poor crops last year. Put the price up 6% which didn't cover the shortage and kept enough for every regular customer. Now we have dropped back to lower price than previously and we lose customers to the "surplus back pocket price suppliers". Loyalty seems very one sided. It won't be happening again except for the customers I know will play ball.

I asked first

 

[Shughie McFee]

the good years seem to pass me by. £30 / bale most i've ever had for round bale hay, and few bales at that. 80/ ton for straw most i've ever had.
always those with to much land than they know what to do with drag the price down for everyone. but what can you do. just turn money over, and pretend to be awesome businessmen like everyone else ? ?‍

"Looking to sell today" probably best to put a price on then!
