Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending February 07, 2020

  Compared to last week, reported hay prices and alfalfa pellets sold 
steady. Demand was mostly light across the state. Several contacts stated 
that January’s demand and movement has been the slowest month in recent 
memory. Many contacts stated more bales of hay have been placed on the 
market in the last week or so in the central part of the state. There 
appears to be a wide range of quality of alfalfa, grass hay and other 
baled forage available. Note: “All sales are dollars per ton FOB 
the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted.”
