Nice weather affects the feed market

Slightly more supply of meadow hay has become available in recent times, causing the price to drop. The price now amounts to €200 per tonne, free of charge. Traders indicate that supply is still scarce. "Price fluctuations cannot therefore be ruled out."

Also decline for straw
In addition, the price of straw also shows a decline. The traders say that this is caused by the fact that demand is decreasing, while supply remains the same. This results in a price of €140 per tonne free at farm (both for barley and wheat straw). Major price increases are no longer expected this year.

In addition, the price of perennial ryegrass also varies price drop to escape. The price of this product drops by €10 per tonne to €150 per tonne, free of charge. On the other hand, the price of grass silage has managed to remain stable at €50 per tonne, free of charge.

Beer spent grain finds bottom
The price of spent grain has fallen sharply in recent weeks, because there was no longer demand for the product. For now, spent grain seems to have found a bottom. The price therefore remains at €2,35 per percent dry matter.

The market for silage corn there is almost no trade anymore. With the nice weather, the cows are outside and most livestock farmers have already purchased their supplies. If there is still trade, it will be at a price of €57,50 per ton, free of charge. Prices of €1,70 to €1,80 per percent of dry matter are also mentioned.

Sold out products
There is virtually no trade in red fescue, tall fescue and meadow meadow. This means that prices remain at €150, €150 and €155 per tonne, free of charge, respectively. There is also no longer any trade in feed potatoes. That price remains at €40 per tonne, free of charge.
