Hay shortage: what are you going to do?

[OWLIE185]

We have had a good crop of hay this year. We are in Hertfordshire. We have regular customers that buy it off the field each year. This saves us having to transport and store some of it.

I hate peas too - can't eat a meal if there's any on the plate

We don't seem to have a problem round here with haylage (never feed hay). The first cut was later than usual due to the very late spring but people are doing a second cut now.

We have a shortage up here *rolls eyes*
Currently at £4.50 for last years hay, and we've only found one place (after driving round for 4hours!) that has some, and we're currently buying him out!
Farmers havent managed the second cut either this year.

We'll be stocking up on Wrightpak haylege as of next week.

Hay shortage? We certainly dont have that up here! Costs us £1.50 for a lovely square bale of hay. Maybe you guys should buy a heap from up here in Scotland!

I've heard rumours of hay shortage down here in the South East, but then we have had no proper rain for ages and the fields are brown brown brown, so would very much doubt if anyone has got a 2nd cut off any fields around.

Not too worried as YO cut some from her fields this year and I usually use large bale haylage anyway in a club with other liveries.

Plenty of hay round here but I have heard there is going to be a brussel sprout shortage - if anyone wants my portion from my Christmas lunch feel free!
