Description

Fodder prices have begun to fall, after hitting record highs in winter. 

Pasture hay hit a peak of $700 a tonne in July but farmers are now paying between $440 - $530 a tonne.

Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with Australian Fodder Industry Association Executive Director Vanessa Curtis about the situation.
