Forage here

What Dorset makes and what that means for you.

This is wetter, grassier country, and it shows in what’s available: haylage and silage are the reliable crops, and good dry hay is a genuinely weather-dependent harvest: plentiful after a settled June, scarce after a wet one. Straw travels in from the eastern arable counties rather than being grown at scale here.

If you’re set on dry hay, ask early and be flexible on cut and bale size. Haylage suits harder-keeping horses and is usually the better-value local option, and because straw is largely imported into the region, delivery distance is a real part of what it costs.
