Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending September 22, 2017

    
    Compared to last week alfalfa, grass hay, ground and delivered 
hay sold steady with dehy pellets trading mostly steady to 5.00 higher.  
Wide variety of demand across the state this week ranging from light to 
good. There is still a lot of forages to be sold this fall and a lot of 
“off” forages to be baled after soybean and corn is combined. Earlier in 
the summer it appeared that there was going to be a shortage of hay in 
the state but with sporadic rains this summer most farmers/ranchers are 
getting some kind of forage baled and stored for future use.  All sales 
are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted.
