Livestock farmers in the Côte-d'Or department of France report that hay harvests have been roughly halved by summer drought, with no hay left to buy or use since July. A sheep farmer in Mâlain says her hay stock is already depleted well before winter and sheep are grazing the little grass left in the fields.
Lower domestic hay output and early depletion of stocks raise feed costs and pressure French livestock farmers to buy forage or cull herds, supporting demand for alfalfa and grass hay substitutes and firming hay prices.
