Compared to last report: New crop alfalfa hay has hit the market and moderate
to good demand was seen for all hay in squares. Hay market activity was mostly
active over the last two weeks with lots of hay being sold and beginning to move.
Hay in rounds continues to struggle as many cattlemen are putting up their own
hay and have carry-over from last year. Much of first cutting received at least
some rain which has limited the volume of high quality hay available. Some producers
had hay down for 10-15 days or more before finally getting it bailed. Much of this
hay sold or is selling for or near bedding price. Some producers opted to rerun it
through the swather and bail it with second cutting. Demand for grass hay is very
good especially in squares. Much of this hay is selling into Canada. Demand for straw
is good as dairies in Idaho are searching for straw. However, harvest for both wheat
and barley have yet to start so no confirmed sales can be found. All prices below are
new crop hay unless otherwise noted. All prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless
otherwise noted.
