Oregon Weekly Hay Report

  
           
   Compared to Aug 25:  Prices trended generally steady.  All prices 
reported today are 2017 crop, unless otherwise noted.  Most producers
are done with first and second cutting and out in the field working on 
third cutting.  Fires and smoke throughout the state have slowed 
movement of hay due to highway closures and fire mitigation.  
Retail/Stable type hay remains the largest demanded hay.  The export
market demand has increased as compared to prior reports.
All prices are in dollars per ton and FOB unless otherwise stated.
