Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 2/13/20

Another week and another winter storm in between warm-ups and thawing 
out. Areas to the south got more rain, while snow was mostly to the 
north.  Most farmers are getting quite tired of weather swings that make 
feeding and caring for livestock much more difficult than if it would 
just get cold and stay that way for a while. Hay supplies are still 
adequate, and most farmers seem to be in pretty good shape. Hay movement 
is slow. The supply of hay is 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. To be listed, or to view 
the directory visit http://mda.mo.gov/abd/haydirectory/ for listings of
