About the Hay Report
Why the hay report is created
Farmers, government, industry advocacy and businesses across the supply chain require independently produced, unbiased data on the industry to inform strategic decisions and policy formation.
Hay reports provide an independent industry view, bringing together key data and insights across the supply chain and industry without any vested interest.
The hay report is created using data provided by the Australian Fodder Industry Association (AFIA).
Interpreting the reports
Hay prices are based on shedded hay without weather damage, of good quality and colour. There is a wide variation in quality for hay, so prices are indicative for a mid-range product.
Prices are estimates based on delivery to dairy farms with allowance for freight, storage, and marketing costs, but exclusive of GST. Actual prices may vary for quality or other reasons.
In this video, dairy farm manager Brian Corr explains how Dairy Australia's hay and grain email updates help him make more informed decisions on-farm.
