Hay market trade activity is slow. Prices steady, demand light. Fields are finally
starting to dry up enough for farmers to get back into the fields to finish harvest. Hay
deliveries that have been slow due to damp conditions should pick back up with the drying
conditions. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, after recent improvements to the
region's lingering drought areas, conditions were unchanged during the past week. The
abnormally dry (D0) category is at 7 pct., and moderate drought (D1) is at 1 pct. If you

Compared to last week: Alfalfa hay prices sold mostly firm with
instances of 5.00 higher seen for some sales. With many ranchers
marketing their livestock over the past few weeks this has freed
up funds and allowed ranchers to purchase hay for winter. Hay
market activity this week was mostly active with many ranches
buying hay. Dairies were also in the market this week buying
high quality hay. Demand for dairy quality hay was mostly
moderate to good as many dairies in Washington and Idaho were
active market participants. Demand for hay to go to Colorado
and other southern drought states continues to be good as well
with loads leaving weekly. Producers who are cutting 3rd cutting
have had a very good stretch of weather to put it up as weather
conditions have been outstanding across much of the state.
Grazing conditions continue to be good with many cows still out
on range. This continues to curb demand for hay to some degree.
All prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless otherwise noted.

Compared to last week: All classes traded steady with moderate demand. This
time last year in region 6; dry cow hay was bringing 115.00-120.00. According
to the NASS Crop Progress Report October 22, 2018, low pressure aloft across the
state led to cool conditions through midweek. Temperatures rested at below to
near normal levels during the first half of the week. By midweek, the low
pressure aloft moved toward the east allowing for high pressure to build over
the region. This allowed for a warming trend to develop in which temperatures
were expected to rise to above normal levels. The warm conditions continued
until Sunday, when the high pressure began to weaken and allowed for
temperatures to begin to cool. Temperature highs ranged from the upper lower
60s to mid 70s in the Sierras, upper 50s to low 80s in the mountains, the lower
60s to upper 80s along the coast, low 70s to upper 90s in the desert, and mid
70s to mid 80s in Central Valley. Temperature lows ranged from the upper 20s to
lower 50s in the Sierras, upper 30s to upper 60s in the desert, upper 30s to low
50s in the mountains, mid 40s to upper 50s in the Central Valley, and mid 50s to
lower 60s along the coast. In the Sacramento Valley, rice, safflower, and corn
harvest continued. Sunflowers, beans, and rice continued to be harvested in
Sutter. In Tulare cotton harvest continued, alfalfa was cut and baled, and corn
and sorghum was harvested for silage. Hay is reported FOB the stack or barn
unless otherwise noted. Regions are defined at bottom of report.

Week Ending October 26, 2018
Hay supplies were limited this past week, again leaving customers in a quadry.
While the supplies were limited, better quality hay appeared and buyers were willing
to chase that quality. Additonally corn stalks began appearing at sales, but
appeared to sell at a disadvantage to oat straw. Weather continues to be beneficial
in Iowa for harvesting and some producers have managed to bale a 4th cutting of hay.

Compared to last report: All hay classes traded remained steady.
Movement continues to be hampered by rainfall across the state. The
Panhandle received more rain mid-week after being able to dry out a few
days. CRP and Wheat hay are the new hay variety on the market for now.
The North, East and South rainfall has made getting a 4th cutting
difficult. Some are worried that they will not be able to get the much
needed 4th cutting before the first frost. Prices for hay and pellets
quoted per ton except where noted.

Compared to Oct 19: Prices trended generally steady compared to last
week prices. Retail/Stable type hay remains the most demanded hay.
Demand for export hay has decreased since last report. Contacts were
difficult to get ahold of this week due to working in the fields during
the abnormally warm and dry weather in Oregon growing areas. All sales
in this report are 2018 crop year hay. Some growers are sold out for
this crop year.

Alfalfa trade and movement very slow. More rains and colder weather contributed to slow sales and light demand. Dairy buyers are largely out of the market at this time and feedlot demand for grinding hay also turned light. Demand for good quality grass hay remains fairly good but most current offerings are being rejected for quality concerns. Winter wheat seeding reached 85 percent completion, up 5 percent from the same period a year ago. Winter wheat emergence at 62 percent is up 10 points from last year. Market News continues to maintain an online hay directory for both in-state and out-of-state hay producers. The directories are on the ODAFF homepage at www.oda.state.ok.us. Producers wishing to list hay are encouraged to call at 1-405-522-3753 or email jack.carson@ag.ok.gov. Alfalfa Central Oklahoma: Premium quality 200.00-220.00.

Drought areas (D1-D3), with precipitation over the past 365 days totaling
locally less than 60 percent of normal. According to the NASS Colorado Crop
Progress report for week ending October 21, 2018, stored feed supplies were
rated 8 percent very short, 19 percent short, 68 percent adequate, and 5 percent
surplus. 4th cutting alfalfa hay was at 64 percent harvested and Pasture and
Range conditions were rated 28 percent Very Poor, 27 percent Poor, 17 percent
Fair, 24 percent Good, and 4 percent Excellent. The next available report will

Hay market trade activity is slow. Prices steady, demand light to moderate.
Farmers are busy trying to finish up harvest which has proven problematic when
fighting through rain drops and snowflakes. Some are also finishing post-frost
haying, but trying to dry hay with cooler temperatures and shorter days is
difficult. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, recent precipitation has
supported additional reduction in the state's moderate and severe drought. The
abnormally dry (D0) category is at 7.5 pct., moderate drought (D1) is at 1.0
pct., and severe drought (D2) has been eliminated. If you have hay for sale,

Compared to last week: Alfalfa hay prices sold fully steady.
Limited hay sales were seen this week as many ranchers are
busy marketing cattle. Demand from Colorado and southern
Wyoming continues to be good. Limited loads of hay traded
into these areas this week. Demand for hay from Canada has
helped spur some interest in northern Montana this week, however
no sales were established as of this writing. Plenty of grazing
remains available for ranchers as mostly mild weather is forecast
for the extended forecast. Dry weather has allowed producers to
cut third cutting if they wish however a limited number of
producers are opting to do so as hay supplies remain heavy.
Demand for straw remains good as supplies are light to moderate
many producers have wrapped up grain harvest and are starting
to market straw. All prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless
otherwise noted.
