Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending November 30, 2018


  Compared to last week alfalfa, grass hay, ground and delivered products 
and dehy pellets sold steady. Demand was good on ground and delivered hay 
as users are stocking piling due to the pending winter storm. Moderate to 
good demand for all other baled hay and alfalfa pellets. Some contacts 
stating there are still a lot of cornstalks that need to get baled but 
warmer and dry weather will have to prevail to get the task completed.   
All sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise 
noted.
