Episode notes
KEY POINTS
Production to date has yielded excellent quality. There is still plenty of hay being made in southern areas but care is needed with this product as some of it is seeing the effects of being in the windrow for several weeks.
Demand has been strong throughout October which has pushed prices up. However, recent interest rate rises, coupled with some rainfall, have brought a temporary stability to the market in early November.
Hay fires have been a concern this season, with even some of the very best operators impacted.
Feed Central has inspected 30,000 tonnes for October and now has a over 100,000 tonnes inspected, feed tested and ready for sale.
