Iowa Hay Summary

Week Ending  June 22nd, 2018


For this week: Hay was in short supply this week as weather kept hay growers away from 
fields.  While rain was welcomed in southern Iowa, continued rain in central and northeast 
Iowa kept producers grounded. The late week cool weather spurred hay growth after several 
weeks of unusually high temperatures. Buyers could find both old and new crop hay available 
in Large squares and large rounds.  Small squares were extremely hard to find. Similar 
prices were paid for old crop and new crop hay as quality was lacking in the 2018 new crop.
