Week ending 05/19/2017 As predicted sunshine allowed several acres of hay to be baled this week. Progress so far is right in line with the 5 year average as of the crop progress report released earlier this week. Hay movement is light, supplies are moderate, demand is light and prices are mostly steady. The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory available for both buyers and sellers. To be listed, or for a directory visit http://mda.mo.gov/abd/haydirectory/ for listings of hay http://agebb.missouri.edu/haylst/ (All prices f.o.b. and per ton unless specified and on most recent reported sales price listed as round bales based generally on 5x6 bales with weights of approximately 1200-1500 lbs).
