Week Ending August 24, 2018
This weeks lower prices were reflective of the poorer quality hay and straw that was
being sold. Iowa producers could not catch a break and again most of the hay was wet
when it was baled. Top of the line dairy hay, both cow and goat, was being brought in
from out of state. Small square bales were scarce as this size of packaging appeared
to be bought straight out of the field rather than hauled to a public sale.
