Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending October 06, 2017

    
    Compared to last week alfalfa, grass hay, ground and delivered 
hay and dehy pellets sold steady. Demand was moderate on 
groud and delivered hay and pellets with light demand for baled hay. 
Sellers and buyers are having hard time moving hay this week due to the 
rain within there trade areas. Some producers are still hoping to get 
there fourth or fifth cutting of alfalfa baled. Several reports of hay 
down for a week and still not even close to being baled. There is a lot 
of cane and millet hay to be cut and baled. Some feedlots are struggling 
this fall to get silage chopped. Several farmers are at a standstill on 
picking high-moisture corn and soybeans due to the wet fields. All 
sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise 
noted.
