Wyoming Hay Summary

Week ending August 24, 2018

   Compared to last week baled hay and pellets sold unevenly steady.  Demand was 
moderate to good with steady movement.  Most of the state continues to look 
green for this time of year and many producers aren’t concerned right now about 
procuring hay for their winter needs, although rangelands are starting to get 
dry which presents a fire hazard.  According to the NASS Wyoming Crop Progress 
and Condition report, 2nd cutting alfalfa is 84% harvested across the state.  
Smoky conditions are presenting a concern for producers with livestock.  All 
prices are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn unless otherwise noted.
