We have just paid £3.50 small bale. Baled to order and delivered to us and unloaded.

It was £3.25 if collected from the field.

Powys ..... between Welshpool and Newtown.

25 euro delivered and rolled into place.....large rolls too (I got at least 5 in that space last year)

I've just been quoted £3.25 per square bale if I collect myself (Central Scotland).

Does anybody know how many I should buy to see half a dozen sheep safely through until the Spring?

£3.00 a small bale collected and £20 for a big round bale off the field....Scottish Borders.

I have just paid £25 for round bales delivered. Seen small bales for sale between £3.50 to £4. Plenty going being made at the moment.

Local Dorset farm shop this morning. Small straw £4 and hay £6

.

I pay £2 straw and £4 hay (if I need to buy any, mainly we use our own).

anyone asking for £6 a small bale for hay this year is having a laugh. just been offered some at £2 a bale which seems about right for the best grass growing year most farmers can remember.

£2 off the field in East Essex

£2.50 off the field here, plenty about but if it stays (desert like!) dry much longer here in south west Wales dairy farmers will soon be feeding fodder and prices could go up.

We just sold our hay -small bale - for £2.50 off the field. Well theoretically off the field but we do seem to have ended up stacking, loading, delivering and unloading hay for that...!
