Week Ending May 17, 2019
Hay offerings were tighter this past week and prices were higher even though
the quality was lower. Supreme alfalfa could only be found in small squares
and that supply, baled last year, was tight. The supply of large squares was
limited, regardless of the quality of hay. The end of this week in Iowa was
wet with the forecast for the rest of May also indicating wide spread rain and
slightly below normal for temperatures. Whle this weather pattern may encourage
the growth of pastures, it wrecks havoc in the harvesting of first cutting.
