Price of Hay and straw?

Hi,
I was wondering what everyone is paying for their hay and straw at the moment?

What type is it, and what condition?

How much do you pay?

Re: Price of Hay and straw?

That is very reasonable.

I have been told all the straw is going up to £3.00 a bale because of the wet summer, its not that brilliant quality either.

Re: Price of Hay and straw?

Prices differ greatly from area to area.
I am in Kent and hay is varying from £2 - £3.50 and straw around £1 - £2.50
I certainly have never heard of anyone paying £5.00 for hay and as for £4.00 for straw that is daylight robbery.
It is definotely worth shopping around and there is definitely no need to skimp on quality

Re: Price of Hay and straw?

I pay £1 a bale for wheat straw, £1.50 for barley straw, hay off our field is £1 a bale for the farmer to cut and bale it and then it's £3 a bale for hay when that has run out.
