Week Ending March 15, 2019
Compared to last week hay prices are fully steady. Demand was good with
several prospective buyers buzzing the phone lines trying to buy some hay
to get them through till grass. Many producers thought they had enough
hay but Ole man winter keeps hanging on and won’t let go! Rapid snow
melting, then rain changing to snow on Wednesday with very high winds has
hampered hay movement for the week. One contact mentioned people could go
from snowmobiling to jet skiing in one day! All sales are dollars per
ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted.
