Iowa Hay Summary

Week Ending  Mar 01, 2019

Hay and Straw continue to be in short supply.  Gravel roads are hard to drive as 
many only have one lane open, limiting the movement of hay and straw off the farm.  
Best quality sytaw and hay continues to be hipped in from out out of state.  Livestock 
producers are advertising in weekly papers looking for better quality hay or bedding.
The scarcity of good quality hay and straw is focring producers to cut their livestock
numbers.
