Weekly Montana Hay Report

Compared to last week:  Hay prices sold fully steady. The
majority of producers have sold out of hay and little trade
is occurring, however a few limited loads moved this week
on increased demand seen in the western portions of the state
which saw snowfall in many places. Demand for hay was light
on light supplies and movement. Grass hay sold steady on very
light sales volume. All prices are dollars per ton and FOB
unless otherwise noted.
