The price of your hay?

[susanjc]

Can anyone tell me what they are paying for a bale of hay this winter. Has it gone up in price because of the shortage due to the bad summer?

thanks

I pay £3.50 delivered at the moment. Local feed merchant is charging £5.50 but thats not delivered.

£3.50 seed hay or £4 meadow hay ( bigger than normal bales)

At the moment its £3.50 where I am, not sure if it will change later though.

Interestingly, I was going through some paperwork a little while ago and found some old bills from around 1990 and hay then was £2.50 to £3.25 a standard bale although it was very good quality, so all my gripes about the price of it at the moment soon went

I dread to think what the cost will be this winter.I paid £12 for a round bale of haylage last year that was delivered too.That is very cheap but it will go up this year i expect.

I have the choice of £1.80 a bale for ex seed hay - mainly stalk and a bit damp feeling or really yummy looking hay, nicely dry, green looking with loads of leaf for £3 a bale. Both are collected but I think that if I want the £3 a bale in winter and I order some food they will bring the hay along at no extra cost.

£1 a big round bale

off grandad, from the field opposite us

We got some hay which is a few years old and not great quality for £15 for 30 bales, and some of this years hay for £2 per bale. Some people are charging £4 per bale though.

[SecretSquirrell379]

£3 a bale delivered but there is a place we can get hay for £2 if we pick it up

 

[Happytohack]

Am paying £3.00 per bale - farmer charged £2.25 last year, but they are big bales. Noticed that someone who charged £2.00 per bale last year was advertising hay at £4.00 per bale, however this week the price has gone back down to £2.00 so obviously they had no takers.

£3.50 a bale, was £3.00 but gone up and can see it going up even more tbh, and thats not delivered

[kerilli]

£2 a bale delivered, for really really nice stuff, same as last year. there's something good about living out in the sticks!

I managed to get some really nice last years hay for £3 per bale and this years at £1.80 per bale collected. So more than happy as I like to feed year old hay for my native fatty!
