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. A few limited loads moved again this week. 
Many producers in the Yellowstone valley have their first
cutting on the ground as perfect drying conditions are expected 
to continue for the next week. Grass hay saw very light movement
this week as well. Grass hay sold steady as many producers 
finished moving the remainder of their 2016 supply. Notably,
dry conditions are beginning to show up in the Eastern portions 
of the state as the Drought Monitor has several portions of
counties in abnormally dry status. All prices are dollars per 
ton and FOB unless otherwise noted.
