Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 11/09/2018

Weather conditions have many wondering where Fall went. Temperatures have 
been very cool and damp with below average temperatures forecast for much 
of the next week. There as even been talk of snow although not likely to 
last long it still is way too early in most famers view for that.  Hay 
movement overall has been slow although several horse owners continue to 
look for places to pick up just a few small bales. 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
