Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending January 11, 2019


  Compared to last week alfalfa hay sold fully steady. Grass hay and 
ground and delivered hay sold steady. Dehy pellets steady in the East 
sold steady with the Platte valley trading steady to 10.00 higher. Demand 
remains very good for Dehy pellets across the state with supply getting 
very tight. Demand for grinding hay and ground hay was good from 
feedlots. Some areas of the state snow has melted and cattle are out 
grazing with ranchers not having to supplement as much feed as previous 
week. There is a chance of rain/snow mix over this weekend. If there is a 
large accumulation of moisture cattlemen will have to start supplementing 
feed again that will dwindle supplies of reserve hay. It appears most 
potential buyers will procure hay on an as needed basis, not stock piling 
large quantities. A lot of talk about trying to bale cornstalks when the 
weather shapes up. All sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay 
barn, unless otherwise noted.
