Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending March 08, 2019


  Compared to last week alfalfa, grass hay and alfalfa pellets sold 
steady. Ground and delivered hay in the Platte Valley sold 10.00 higher, 
steady in the Panhandle. Demand was good with several loads of hay 
getting shipped across the state. Snow in some areas of the state 
overnight Thursday with rain or snow in the forecast for the weekend.  As 
the winter lingers on more owners of livestock have started to look for 
hay to procure.  Warm temperatures and green pastures cannot come soon 
enough for many livestock owners. Several contacts mentioned when the 
snow melts and dries, rakes and balers will be in the corn fields.  All 
sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise 
noted.
