South Dakota Weekly Hay Summary

All prices per ton, unless noted, FOB the stack.

   Compared to last week:  All classes of hay steady to firm.  Demand
was better this week, moderate to good, as dairies need high testing
hay and are having difficulty finding it.  Good demand for grass hay
as cattle feeders need it to start calves on feed.  Improved demand
for corn stalks as the price of grass hay is causing cattle feeders
to look for alternative forages to blend into their rations.  Few new
corn stalk bales have been put up yet as little corn has been harvested.
Cool and cloudy with rain early in the week again keeping hay growers
from finishing up their final cutting.  Some producers were able to get
their fourth put up before the devasting rains of last week that plagued
the Eastern side of the state.  Those that would like to make another cut
are facing a poor drying and curing prospect as the forecast remains
cool, cloudy, and many more chances of rain.  All hay and straw sold by
the ton FOB, unless otherwise noted.

Hay Market Demand and Price Report for the Upper Midwest

Demand and Sales Comments
The hay market this week was steady with some weakness. Top quality hay continues to bring good prices in any package size. Quality round bales continue to be discounted when compared to other hay packages. Some markets were slow this week probably related to weather and fall harvest.

For Nebraska, hay sold steady, demand was light to moderate as many buyers and sellers were busy with fall field work. For Iowa, overall steady market with hay available from multiple cuttings (1st - 4th), but limited as many are in the field harvesting. Small square bales and top quality hay are limited at the market, while large rounds are in good supply.

In South Dakota, all classes of hay were steady with few reported sales at the market. Demand is moderate at best. High quality grass hay is in demand to start calves on feed. Heavy rainfall in areas may have ruined hay that was cut.

For Missouri, hay prices have some weakness. Many cattle feeders are gauging how much hay they have on hand and how long will the pasture continue to grow this fall before purchasing hay. Many sellers are thinking prices will increase as winter begins and are not offering hay into the market.
In Southwest Minnesota, prices were steady to weaker with no quality hay available. Only lower quality hay was offered with little demand.

In Wisconsin, quality alfalfa hay prices were strong, however lower quality hay continues to be discounted no matter the package size. This has been a busy week as many farmers are taking a late harvest of hay, harvesting corn silage, soybeans, and high moisture corn. After they get feed in storage and take inventory they may or may not purchase hay. Some areas were on the fringe of drought and those famers are purchasing corn and hay standing in the field to add to their inventory.
Straw prices were steady this past week as straw is in demand. Small square bale straw price was steady at $3.50 a bale (range of $2.00 to $6.00). Large square bale straw prices increased to $48.00 per bale (a range of $35.00 to $72.00). Large round bale straw averaged $35.00 per bale (range of $25.00 - $55.00).

Weekly Montana Hay Report

Compared to last week: Alfalfa hay prices sold fully steady. 
Hay demand continues to be light on heavy supplies. Hay movement
was slow this week. Ranchers, seeing heavy supplies, have not
been very active in buying hay as summer pasture and grazing 
remains available. Some producers have limited 3rd cutting due
to heavy supplies and have opted to graze instead of hay. Dairy
demand for hay from Idaho and Washington has been limited due
to competitive hay prices in their respective states. Export 
demand remains strong as loads of hay continue to sell to 
exporters along the west coast. Demand for hay to ship to drought 
areas in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas continues to be mostly 
good. Square prices continue to see a premium to rounds due to 
the shipping advantage. The straw continues to sell steady. 
All prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless otherwise noted.
