Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending January 25, 2019


  Compared to last week alfalfa hay, grass hay, ground and delivered hay 
and Dehy pellets sold mostly steady. There was a tick of a higher 
undertone noted on large squares going out of state. Demand within 
Nebraska was moderate at best with good demand noted from out of state 
customers. Some areas of the state received snow and ice with seasonal 
temperatures early in the week with a nice warmup this weekend. Hopefully 
most stalk fields will be melted off by weeks end letting cows graze 
without much supplementation of hay. Won’t be long until many cattlemen 
will start to calve and feed resources will begin to get used. At that 
time, it will be interesting to see if there is an upward tick to the 
“cow hay” market.  All sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay 
barn, unless otherwise noted.
