Idaho Weekly Hay Report

Tons:  300    Last Week:  7700    Last Year:  1200    

   Compared to last Friday, Domestic Alfalfa steady in a light test. Trade near 
standstill as most supplies have been already sold. Demand remains good especially  
for feeder and higher testing dairy hay. Some out of state reported coming into the 
trade area. Retail/Feed store not tested this week. Early indications point to 
strong demand for western U.S. alfalfa hay from Saudi Arabia in 2019. This is due 
to the Saudi Arabian government not allowing large alfalfa farms to use water for 
irrigation in the future and no alfalfa could be planted in Saudi Arabia after 
September 2018. Prices are dollars per ton and FOB the farm or ranch unless 
otherwise stated.
