AS DEMAND for hay increases on the back of widespread frosts and dry weather in the past month, supply of high-quality product is under pressure.
Some of Australia’s major hay growing areas in Southern New South Wales and Victoria were hit by widespread flooding last year – which left paddocks under water for months.
While major cattle producing areas in Southern Queensland and Northern NSW have seen some rain this week, the end of summer has been dry. National hay marketer Feed Central has noticed demand increasing in some of those areas this week.
