Hay production

The oaten hay market in Western Australia (WA) has developed significantly in recent years. There is an increased focus on the quality of hay for the export market and as a result interest in quality for the domestic market has also grown.

Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia is a partner in the National Oat Breeding Program which has a focus on identifying oats suitable for hay production in WA.
