Expensive lucerne
With lucerne hay selling at S2 or a little more per bale in Canterbury, hay prices have reached their highest point for some seasons. However, they are still well short of prices being paid elsewhere. From Alexandra comes a report of a sale of lucerne hay which eclipses any price so far in Canterbury. The first 1000 bales changed hands at $3.60. the second “cut” of 1000 bales $3.20, a further 2500 bales at $2.70, and the balance of 1000 bales at $2.75. It produced an average of $2.95 a bale, and prompted a correspondent to the “Otago Daily Times” to comment: “It must be a record of some sort.”
