Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 07/28/2017

   
  It seems as if the triple digit heat index might finally be gone for a 
while. Some areas of the state mainly along I-70 saw moderate to heavy 
rains this past week as a couple of storms hammered the KC area and moved 
east across the state. Thursday’s rain was more wide spread but as of this 
report rain totals are still being added too.  A big chunk of the state 
in the south central region and few counties in far north central are 
currently most in need of some moisture according to the latest drought 
monitor and reports from local farmers.  Hay movement is light, supplies 
are moderate, demand is light and prices are 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
