Czech farmers and livestock breeders, large and small, are worried about a shortage of animal feed. Hay purchase prices have risen many times over since last year, from about 300 CZK to around 3,000 CZK per bale, according to the Jihlava agricultural association.
Drought cut first-cut yields by half, second cuts barely grew and third cuts were minimal, while fuel and energy costs also raised prices.
A drought-driven loss of domestic hay supply pushes Czech livestock keepers toward imported roughage and may force herd reductions, adding upward pressure on alfalfa and grass hay prices in the region.
