“Commodity prices continue to come under pressure. Therefore, it’s important that all farmers ensure they get value when buying farm inputs,” O’Brien said.
“The results of this survey should be used by all farmers to negotiate competitive prices for their bale wrap this year. Keener pay-on-the-day terms should also be provided by suppliers.”
