Week Ending November 02, 2018
Compared to last week alfalfa sold mostly steady, instances 15.00 higher on
the Eastern side of the state. Grass hay, ground and delivered products and
dehy pellets sold steady to 10.00 higher. Demand has picked up in the far
western areas of the state from buyers in dry areas of Colorado and from
feedlots and dairies in the same state. Demand was moderate from within the
Nebraska. Several prospective buyers are busy with harvest and do not have time
to procure hay. When harvest slows there is a very good chance demand will
increase. Producers have been raking and baling cornstalks and baling soybean
stubble right behind the combine. Some contacts stated they have a lot of acres
of stalks and stubble to bale this fall. All sales are dollars per ton FOB the
field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted.
