Week ending 12/14/2018
A bit milder weather this week as temperatures rose to more comfortable
levels. Mud is however still an issue in many places and making feeding
difficult. There continues to be some looming concerns about hay supplies,
especially given that feeding levels were more than normal most of
November and these are valid concerns in many local areas. Overall
though even with lower supplies nationwide there is still hay that can be
found but many are not thrilled about prices or distance to get it. The
supply of hay light to moderate. Hay prices are steady. Hay demand is
moderate to good. The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay
directory available for both buyers and sellers. To be listed, or for a
directory visit http://mda.mo.gov/abd/haydirectory/ for listings of hay
