Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 1/11/2019

The state saw another week with mostly above normal temperatures. The 
forecast for the weekend however has that bad “S” word which only the 
kids that get out of school like to hear. Hay interest saw a slight 
uptick this week as inquires increased and several reports from more 
farmers with nothing more to sale and trying to get their phones to stop 
ringing. 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
