A square hay bale off farm mid 1970's was 75p, so ï¿½7.50 from a retail shop is cheaper in real terms today

Sold some cattle friday,and the buyer also buy`s and sells Hay and Straw,he had heard that Silage bales from Wales are going up to Kent for ï¿½65 a bale. Going to be an expensive winter if one has to buy in fodder.

I have got a regular supply in Devon for big square haylage - and I mean big - for ï¿½30 bale. I have heard about the extortionate prices being charged elsewhere, but without knowing the weather conditions for any particular area, it is a difficult one to judge on pricing. Some areas just don't grow large amounts of grass !

My neighbour's going for a second cut of silage by the looks of it - he very rarely does that.
