Week ending 11/30/2018
The last couple weeks of mostly below average temperatures and some
winter weather has farmers starting to feed some hay now. The fall
pastures are being depleted and diet requirements are increasing. Some
areas of the state have already seen four snow events which is very
unusual this early. Although they have been short lived it is eating up
some of the hay supply in a year that the general consensus is there is
not enough for an extended long feeding season. The supply of hay light
to moderate. Hay prices are steady. Hay demand is light to moderate. The
Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory available for both
buyers and sellers. To be listed, or for a directory visit
