Price per metric Ton
SUPREME $103.88 to $207.33
PREMIUM $86.56 to $172.78
GOOD $77.56 to $154.81
AVERAGE $36.01 to $71.88
SUPREME : Very early maturity, pre-bloom, soft fine stemmed, extra leafy. Factors indicative of very high nutritive content. Hay is excellent colour and completely free of damage and foreign matter.
PREMIUM : Early maturity, i.e., pre-bloom in legumes and pre head in grass hays, extra leafy and fine stemmed factors indicative of a high nutritive content. Hay is green and free of damage and foreign matter.
GOOD : Late maturity, i.e., mid to late-bloom in legumes, head-in grass hays, moderate or below leaf content, and generally course stemmed. Hay may show light damage and minimal foreign matter.
AVERAGE : Hay in very late maturity, such as mature seed pods in legumes or mature head in grass hays, coarse stemmed. This category could include hay discounted due to excessive damage and heavy weed content or mould.
A nasty thing here in that it is cheaper to ship the hay overseas than it is to transport it from WA to the eastern seaboard. :mad:
