Ferrying out the last of last season’s oaten hay via trailers as site too wet for trucks. 

This hay was stacked under our Hay Caps the day it was baled - 28th October 2015. 474mm rain on stack since then with one of the wettest winter’s we have had in a long time.

It is now on its way to a local dairy farm.

    I am sure the dairy farm is grateful for your Hay Caps. Very grateful.

      Yes, he was. The fact that we can store the hay out in the open under Hay Caps saves us time, maintains the quality but keeps the cost down which we can then pass the savings onto the dairy farmer. Good all round.

      (Sorry... that sounds like a bit of a sales pitch... it wasn't meant to)

    Though it adds another step, I'm sure you are thankful for the moisture after being dry earlier in the year. The hay looks good!

      We are very grateful for the rain we have had this winter. It has set things up beautifully across much of the grain growing regions of Australia for a wonderful spring and harvest.
