Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending February 01, 2019


  Compared to last week alfalfa hay, grass hay, ground and delivered hay 
and Dehy pellets sold unevenly steady. Few, more calls to area producers 
across that state from prospective buyers searching to see what types of 
forages there is to buy. Some talk on getting out to the fields to bale 
cornstalks if the weather remains warm and dry. Still, some fields of 
corn to get pick in some areas of the state and most of those freshly 
combined fields are scheduled to be baled.  All sales are dollars per ton 
FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted.
