Got 100 bales yesterday direct from field (next door) delivered for £5 per bale. The yield is better this year than last. I paid £6 per bale last year from same farmer direct from field next door/delivered. Farmer said that it is very unlikely to be under £5 per bale due to the cost in fuel.

supplier told me the other day that big round bales will be £25 each this year & thats delivered.

Big round bales up here (North East Scotland) were selling for £32 a bale. I'm a farmers wife and have 2 horses. To be honest if you take in the cost of fuel and time it takes to cut dry turn and bale hay and cost of netting the farmers aren't making much of a profit trust me i kno! We made haylage last year as didnt get perfect conditions for hay. I'm in the fortunate position of if that the bales go off we can feed the rest of the bale to the cattle. Left a couple bales unwrapped to see if it made hay and it was awfull so glad we wrapped the rest. Hopefully we'll get a couple weeks great weather and we can get hay! fingers crossed pls!!!
