Week ending 4/05/2019
Rains late last week brought field work to a stop once again. There was
a bit of fieldwork and fertilizer application that got completed, but many
were just getting started when conditions became too muddy once again.
Grass is greening and starting to grow but still needs some warm sunny
days to outpace livestock that is eager for fresh nutrients. The supply
of hay is light, demand is moderate and prices are steady. The Missouri
Department of Agriculture has a hay directory available for both buyers
and sellers. To be listed, or to view the directory visit
http://mda.mo.gov/abd/haydirectory/ for listings of hay
