Hay position in Victoria deteriorates amid drought
The Victorian Department of Agriculture reports rapid deterioration of the cereal hay supply after no rain in September. North East prospects for grass hay are poor and overall outlook is bleak. Carry over at year end will be negligible, pending fodder rationing until harvest. Supply hinges on New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia, with coal stock shortages threatening rail transport. Authorities urge maximum gathering of cereal and pasture hay to stock through the coming year.
