Iowa Hay Summary

Week Ending  November 16, 2018

A wider variety of forages was available at the sales around Iowa during the past week.
But, like last week, very little of it was scored as Supreme.  As expected, very little 
top quality hay was baled in Iowa, leaving buyers short handed.  Many buyers are buying 
on an as needed basis.  While this past week was cooler than normal, next week appears
to be warmer and with no measurable snowfall, producers look to keep grazing pastures
as long as possible.
