South Dakota Weekly Hay Summary

All prices per ton, unless noted, FOB the stack.

   ***This report will not be released next week due to the Indendence
Day holiday, next report will be July 12, 2019.***

   Compared to last week:  Alfalfa and grass hay steady to weaker
undertones.  Demand rather good for all types of hay.  Old crop supplies
are about cleaned up and delayed cutting of new crop hay has caused
demand to be better than it normally is for this time of year.  Rains
last week, and now more this week, along with humid weather East River
have kept hay producers in many areas from putting up hay this week.
Persistent rain has pushed hay cutting behind normal schedules.  This is
helping to add support to the market but there was a window in recent
weeks where some producers were able to put up some really nice hay which
is helping the available supply.  All hay and straw sold by the ton FOB,
unless otherwise noted.

Hay Market Demand and Price Report for the Upper Midwest

Demand and Sales Comments
Hay prices have dropped about $20.00 per ton in this report. Contributing factors are reduction in auctions during the summer months, new crop hay coming into the market, and farmers too busy to buy hay. If you are looking to buy or sell forage, connect to the Farmer-to-Farmer webpage at http://farmertofarmer.uwex.edu/ to place an ad for your needs or what you have to sell. Contact your local county agriculture agent if you need help placing an ad. There is no charge for the service.

For Nebraska, hay sold steady, buyer inquiry was good. 2019 is a replay of 2018 as many are waiting for some dry days to bale hay. In Iowa, new crop hay is coming to the market. New crop has a wide range of quality related to rainfall either pre or during harvest. Many are considering buying early to avoid being caught short a second year.

In South Dakota, prices are steady with moderate sales. Hay is being baled and has eased some concerns while providing stability to the market.

In Missouri, prices are steady, with improving supplies and a moderate demand. Farmers continue to battle weather to get hay baled.

In Southwest Minnesota, prices were lower with light demand and very little hay available.

In Kansas, market activity and demand are slow to moderate. Prices are variable to trending downward.

In Wisconsin, prices remain strong with demand for hay. Many are planting forages and corn for silage as there has been a delayed spring and there is a need to replenish forage supplies in the state.
Straw prices are for oat, barley, or wheat straw. Prices were steady with a scarce supply of straw. Small square bales averaged $3.70 a bale (range of $1.50 to $6.00). Large square bale straw averaged $54.00 per bale (a wide range of $35.00 to $125.00). Large round bale straw averaged $44.00 per bale (a wide range of $30.00 - $55.00). Wheat straw may demand a slightly higher price and straw quality does affect the price.

Iowa Hay Summary

Week Ending  June 21, 2019

New crop hay continues to be marketed.  Depending on location, first crop hay is
showing a wide variety of quality.  Much of that variation is directly related to 
rainfall, either pre-harvest or during harvest.  Livestock producers are willing to
pay higher money for both hay and straw at the start of the hay year, rather than
being caught short again.

All hay and straw 2019 harvest unless otherwise noted.

Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report: Hay traded mostly steady on light to moderate 
movement.  Excessive rain continues to be the story in the hay market 
across most of the state.  Farmers in the North, Central, and East areas 
are up to 3 weeks behind getting into the fields due to rains and 
flooding.  A small harvesting window has opened in the Panhandle and 
Southern regions.  Pastures continue to be in good condition, which has 
eliminated the need for supplemental feeding 
for livestock out on grass.  Coastal Bermuda producers in the east have 
rye in some of their coastal due to delayed cutting and not being able to 
spay because of rain. 
Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except where noted. 

   The Texas Department of Agriculture has Hay and Grazing phone set 
up for Buyers and sellers looking for hay or grazing; the number is 1-

Missouri Fescue Seed Summary (06/20/2019)

   Fescue harvest is nearing there has been a few loads of seed 
brought in to buying stations. The general consensus however is 
seed is still too wet and needs a little more time to dry. Some 
fields have actually went down making it harder to cut but this 
could also be a bit of a good thing as the wet cool weather has 
prevented the seed from drying and shattering by storms so it is 
mostly about how you look at it.  A couple of months ago there 
was a lot of question about if folks would just hay and try to 
rebuild supplies or wait to cut seed. The difficulty in getting 
good hay weather has made it much more likely for several to 
decide to cut seed especially given current price levels compared 
to what they have been the last several years. 

(Dry: Moisture 12-14% - Wet: Moisture greater than 14%)
(Prices per lb.) 

Prices in areas reporting are at .63 wet and .65 dry.

Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Hay trade continues slow to moderate across the state.  Some of the areas
have seen some dry days to cut hay but because rains continue to fall, 
farmers are having to bale before it is truly dry.  Moisture content in
Alfalfa is pretty high thus it can't be held for a very long time before 
it is turning black.  Much of the hay being cut is only considered choice 
stock cow hay and this due to all of the rain.  Dairy hay, at this moment 
is non-existent.  

Market News continues to maintain an online hay directory for both in-
state and out-of-state hay producers.  The directories are on the ODAFF 
homepage at www.oda.state.ok.us. Producers wishing to list hay are 
encouraged to call at 1-405-232-5425 or email 
OklahomaCity.LPGMN@usda.gov.
