Compared to last week: Hay prices sold fully steady.
Demand for hay remains mostly good. Supplies are light.
Hay market activity was mostly active this week. Hay
from neighboring states continues to be delivered into
the state. This has kept hay prices from pushing higher
as hay delivered in is competitive with locally purchased
and delivered hay. Straw supplies continue to run near zero.
Straw prices sold fully steady on very light volume. All
prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless otherwise noted.

South Dakota Weekly Hay Summary
All prices per ton, unless noted, FOB the stack. Compared to last week: All classes of hay and bedding sold steady to firm this past week. Demand is moderate to good from East River, with good demand noted in the Western half of the state. Interest is best from West River, Wyoming, and Nebraska. Hay supplies are tightening, as many producers have already contracted much of what they still have in their yards. Lower quality grinding type hay is the most sought after, with limited availablity. Late last week and early this week more moisture was received across much of the state in either rain or snow depending on location. Yards are very soft and some hay producers are unable to reach their stacks due to the mud. Spring road weight restrictions have been posted across much of the state. All hay and straw sold by the ton FOB, unless otherwise noted. East River: Alfalfa: Supreme: Large Squares, 200.00. Premium: Large Squares, 150.00-180.00; Large Rounds, 150.00.

California Hay Report
Compared to last week: All classes traded steady with very good demand.
According to the U.S Drought Monitor 3/27/18, copious amounts of precipitation
fell in the West during the USDM period, helping to restore the below-normal
seasonal mountain snowpack in the Sierra. In the lower elevations, the
atmospheric river event caused flash flooding and mudslides in the same area
where forest fires last December charred the landscape. Despite the recent
precipitation in California, departures are evident beyond 30 days. At the 6-
month time scale, precipitation amounts are 30-50 percent of normal in Southern
California. However, for the same period (6-month), the recent storm brought the
precipitation totals closer to normal in the central and northern Sierra. River
basin snow water content now measures 75-90 percent of average in the central
Sierra. The recent storm allowed the contraction of drought across much of the
West this USDM period. Hay is reported FOB the stack or barn unless otherwise
noted. Regions are defined at bottom of report.

movement as hay is hard to find for those areas still supplemental

Bermuda producers in east and north Texas have stopped supplemental
feeding and busy in the field preparing for new crop. Prices for hay and
pellets quoted per ton except where noted.

Iowa Hay Summary
Week Ending March 30, 2018
For this week: Hay prices trended mostly steady this week. Demand was good. Supply of higher
quality hay was light. Temperatures for this coming week look to stay in the low 40's for highs.
Iowa experienced fluctuating temperatures and sporadic precipitation in March. Wet, heavy snow
the third week of the month left fields and roads soft and muddy, and delayed the seasonal rise
in soil temperatures. Some manure and fertilizer was applied and there were a few reports of
oats being seeded, but Statewide little fieldwork was done. Grain movement was brisk in much of
the State, until slowed by snow. Calving and lambing continued but snow and muddy conditions
caused some difficulties. Fluctuations in temperatures challenged livestock producers.
According to the Drought Monitor abnormally dry conditions decreased this week from 21.22% last
week to 18.45% this week. Moderate drought conditions also decreased from 10.04% to 7.61%, which
is focused in the south eastern portion of the state. All prices FOB per ton unless otherwise
noted.

Missouri Weekly Hay Summary
Week ending 03/30/2018 Heavy rains came to most of the state at different times this week. Most folks were talking about amounts in inches as opposed to tenths and several areas saw flooding for the first time in quite a while. Thoughts of field work is about as far as anything gets currently as water is standing or the ground is very spongy in most areas which is about as much of a 180 degree turn as you can have compared to what most areas were like just a month or so ago. Still several folks in the market for some good quality hay to get them a few weeks along as grass needs some sun to start growing. Hay supplies are light to moderate, demand is light to moderate and prices are steady. The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory available for both buyers and sellers.

Tonnage: 8,667/4,434 Last week: 9,410/3,736 Last year: 9,504/4,723

PNW hay exporters hope for better season
Competition in overseas markets from Australia and Canada hampers Pacific Northwest hay exporters, who expect 2017 inventories to clean out in time to help the 2018 season.
ELLENSBURG, Wash. — Exporters say inventories of 2017 alfalfa and Timothy hay should sell out this spring but that export pricing still appears to be tricky.
“Right now we have a lot of competition for market share coming out of Australia and Canada where they have weaker currencies and are offering product at cheaper prices than we can for Timothy and Sudan grass,” said Jeff Calaway, president of Calaway Trading Inc. in Ellensburg.
Exporters, many of whom are in Ellensburg, have never fully recovered the markets that were reduced or lost from the 2014 and 2015 work slowdown at West Coast container ports, he said.
Exporting alfalfa is tough because rain and smoke damaged a lot of alfalfa last season, knocking it out of export quality and creating a Pacific Northwest shortage, Calaway said.
Domestic dairies are willing to pay more than export markets for the high-test alfalfa, he said.
And there’s the challenge of Saudi Arabia buying a lot of premium new season alfalfa in the Pacific Southwest at prices higher than Japanese, Korean and Chinese buyers are willing to pay, Calaway said.
Saudi Arabia’s Almarai Co., the largest dairy in the Gulf region, has bought hay fields in California and Arizona in recent years through its subsidiary Fondomonte California, to source its own hay. Water scarcity has caused the Saudi government to restrict domestic crops.
Almarai took 400,000 tons of hay out of the Southwest last year, continues to go after top quality and is willing to pay top price to get it, Calaway said.
More U.S. exporters should be able to compete in Saudi Arabia as it continues to restrict water for production, said Mark T. Anderson, president of Anderson Hay & Grain Co. Inc., another large Ellensburg exporter.
“China and the Middle East continue to be good emerging markets for U.S. hay products but competition from other countries is heavy, especially in the Middle East,” Anderson said, adding that his company has good quality, consistent supply and good brand recognition in both regions.
Pricing in China has improved a little each month but is below new crop starting prices in the Southwest, he said. It should balance out as old crop inventories sell out and exporters are less inclined “to dump product into China to keep hay presses busy,” he said.
Chinese demand has been growing at discounted prices but dramatic improvement is unlikely because of competition from other export countries and Chinese dairies not doing well, Calaway said.
Andy Schmidt, vice president and co-owner of Ward Rugh Inc. in Ellensburg said it’s hard to find the right price at the farm for what China wants to pay.
Timothy prices will have to soften to gain overseas market share this season, Schmidt said.
Last season, exporters got aggressive buying premium and supreme horse Timothy at up to $340 to $350 per ton, which was too high to compete with Australian oat hay and Southwest Sudan grass on the dairy side, he said.
Ward Rugh’s primary market is Timothy going to Japan and South Korea.
“We expect old crop inventories of alfalfa to clean up well up and down the West Coast,” Anderson said. “We also see lower acreage planted so we expect supply and demand to match up better.”
California Hay Report
Compared to last week: All classes traded steady with very good demand.
Chances of rain held off some farmers in Region 6 of knocking hay down this
week. According to the U.S Drought Monitor 3/22/18, precipitation amounts
during the USDM period were above normal in parts of Montana, much of Idaho,
eastern Oregon, northern Utah and Nevada, and much of California. Below-normal
precipitation occurred elsewhere, but was most notable in the Desert Southwest
and coastal Pacific Northwest. Precipitation departures for the 30- and 60-day
time periods are apparent in most of the region. The important water year-to-
date precipitation amounts were running above normal in the north but running at
least 25-50 percent below normal for much of the region. Mountain snowpack is
less than 25 percent of normal across much of the Sierra Nevada and
Intermountain West. Hay is reported FOB the stack or barn unless
otherwise noted. Regions are defined at bottom of report.

Weekly Montana Hay Report
Compared to last week: Hay prices sold generally
steady. Demand for hay is mostly good as light hay
supplies have ranchers shopping around in hopes of
making it to grass without purchasing any excess hay.
Hay continues to be delivered out of Idaho, Wyoming
and in eastern Montana out of western Nebraska. This
has caused the market to cap slightly as delivered hay
prices are competing with local hay prices. Straw supplies
continue to run near zero, however limited sales are seen
each week. Straw prices sold fully steady on light volume.
All prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless otherwise
noted.

Nebraska Hay Summary
Week Ending March 23, 2018 Compared to last week, alfalfa and grass hay sold steady. Ground and delivered hay 5.00 to 10.00 higher and Dehy pellets steady with sun-cured pellets trading 25.00 higher in the western part of the state. Demand was good. It surprises me how much 2016 hay was left in some areas of the state but, is now getting cleaned up. Most of the 2017 will be sold and it appears there will be some carry over but not a lot. Some talk from hay producers about prospective buyers wanting to make contracts for 2018 alfalfa. Several contacts are adding additional acres of alfalfa this spring. Some have started to plant forage oats with some tillage practices starting in row crop fields. A tick of moisture last week in the form of rain and snow. No run away on totals but every little bit helps. A good general rain across the state would be greatly appreciated. All sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted.

Missouri Weekly Hay Summary
Week ending 03/23/2018 The official arrival of spring came this week but warmer temperatures to really get plants and grasses growing quickly has yet to arrive. Fertilizer buggies are finding use although many farmers are having to watch and avoid wet spots now or risk getting stuck. The latest drought monitor shows only 9 percent of the state officially in drought status with a touch over 44 percent is still abnormally dry. Hay business currently seems to be a story of two extremes with very little middle ground both on supplies and demand. This isn’t entirely unusual as the feeding season draws to a close but the differences in each situation is very drastic this year. Hay supplies are light to moderate, demand is moderate and prices are steady. The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory available for both buyers and sellers.
