corn and beans but again the pace has been rather slow. The supply of 
hay is moderate, demand is light, and prices are steady to weak. The 
Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory visit

Colorado Hay Report

Compared to last week, trade activity and demand light.  Irrigating is 
in full swing and farmers are getting spring plantings started.  Dairy 
and feedlot hay activity mostly on previously contracted hay.  According 
to the U.S Drought Monitor’s High Plains Summary released April 28, 2020, 
the warm, dry conditions led to an expansion of abnormal dryness (D0) in 
the Dakotas, southwest Nebraska, northwest Kansas, and eastern Colorado. 
Additionally, moderate and severe drought (D1 and D2) expanded over 
Colorado’s eastern plains. This area has failed to receive the timely 
spring rains needed, resulting in reductions in soil moisture, 
streamflow, and vegetation health.  According to the NASS Colorado Crop 
Progress Report for week ending April 26, 2020, crop condition 
percentages for alfalfa hay were rated 3 percent Poor, 21 percent Fair, 
70 percent Good and 6 percent Excellent.  Stored feed supplies were rated 
2 percent very short, 12 percent short, 79 percent adequate, and 7 
percent surplus.  The next available report will be Thursday, May 7, 
2020.  All prices reported are FOB at the stack or barn unless otherwise 
noted.  Prices reflect load lots of hay.  If you have hay for sale or

Kansas Hay Market Report

Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement:   Southwest/South Central 
Tonnage: 7,782/4,931     Last week: 8,577/5,332  Last year: 7,317/6,081
              
Hay market trade slow; Prices steady; demand light to moderate. It certainly 
has been a wild ride recently.  As one producer stated, "we are in uncharted 
territory".  Several outside influences are applying pressure to the hay 
market currently and include freezing temperatures, insect damage, ethanol 
plant slowdowns or closers, low corn prices and it's use as a feed source to 
grinder hay. Producers report that some are shipping more hay, some are 
shipping less; some want to raise price, and some want to lower price, and it 
all leaves you scratching your head. Discussion of new crop pricing are 
starting to get reported, primarily in the southwest, and seem to be starting 
where old crop left off. The upside, warmer temperatures and sunny skies will 
allow a lot of planting to get done and get the summer grass to growing. 
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, a new area of abnormally dry 
conditions was introduced in portions of northern and southern Kansas. The 
dry areas are being discussed extensively by the local experts, who are 
monitoring the situation closely. Abnormal dryness (D0) increased to 16 pct, 
moderate drought (D1) remained steady at 4 pct, and severe drought (D2) 
increased to almost 3 pct. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay here

Weekly Texas Hay Report

Compared to last report:  Hay trades are mostly steady in all regions.  
Hay production has kicked off in South and West Texas.  Pricing on new 
crop hay in South Texas is in line with old crop due to very good demand 
as a result of persistent drought like conditions in the region.  
However, pricing has yet to be established on New Crop hay in West Texas.      
Hay trades in the Panhandle continue to be limited due to uncertainty in 
the cattle markets.  Dairies in the region are liquidating cows as milk 
demand has fallen off in part due to school closures.  Excessive amounts 
of moisture in the Northern and Central regions is hampering the harvest 
of small grain forages and corn and sorghum planting.

Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending April 24, 2020

  Compared to last week, all reported forages sold steady. Demand was 
moderate for baled hay with good demand for alfalfa pellets. Majority of 
the hay is going to feedlots and background yards with some going to 
cow/calf operators. Each day we are closer to summer grass and its one 
less day a cattlemen will have to supplement their cow herd. Many are 
hoping they will have enough feed without buying more hay to get to turn 
out time. Farmers have been busy planting across the state. Most on corn 
with some seeding new alfalfa. Spray planes and floaters have been busy 
spraying for army worms, weevils and weeks this spring. Some contacts in 
the Eastern side of the state continue to look for buyers of last year’s
