Hay prices this year.

[Sandstone1]

As title, What are people paying for hay this year please? I normally have large rounds which I was paying £40 at end of winter. Just wonder whats average this year. Think its been a better summer for haymaking this year?

Not hay, but my haylage went down from last year and I've paid £30 big square bale from a top quality supplier.

It arrived last week so I know winter's coming!

Mine are the same as they were all last year £40. My supplier didn’t put prices up when it got short.

The price to make it has gone up this year so no price reductions here.

Ours has stayed at £30

It went up to £40 for a round bale of hay it's stayed the same.

It cost me nearly £19 to make the square bales of haylage, generally costs went up but as we made more bales the other costs came down, so I'd expect the prices to sty roughly the same.

My hay prices have gone down massively this year. I was paying £45 for a 5ft round last year. After talking to my hay supplier this year, he wanted to charge me £15 a bale for 4ft6 rounds. We agreed on £20 a bale, wrapped, delivered and stacked.

A few suppliers locally have reduced prices. They don't have the facilities to store the amounts they have made this year.

£1.75 a bale ... off my own fields though

We make hay/haylage to sell. As much as we’ve had plenty of grass, the window to get it cut and baled has been so much shorter this summer. It’s been a really tough season. Our haylage prices will be increasing as the price of wrap has gone through the roof, hay will be the same prices as last year.
