Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending May 25, 2018

  Compared to last week alfalfa, grass hay, and dehy pellets sold steady. 
Ground and delivered hay sold fully steady. Some areas of the state buyer 
inquiry on new crop hay has been really good as prospective buyers are 
juggling to be first in line to procure the newly baled hay. This very 
good demand or inquiry is odd since there is a limited amount of hay that 
has been cut this week. Most producers are eyeing the weather and 
probably start cutting hay this weekend as storms are to clear out. It 
should be great hay drying weather as temperatures are to be in the high 
80’s to low 90’s over the Memorial Day weekend.  All sales are dollars 
per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted.
