Week ending 7/19/19
Although many farmers have now finished up there is still quite a bit of
haying going on around the state. There has even been some reports of
some farmers choosing to make a second cutting of grass hay already. A
few areas of the state did receive some rain over the last week with some
small areas of heavy rain and flash flooding. Despite the fact areas
along the major rivers in the state still have some standing flood water
and a lot of mess to deal with there are many areas outside of the river
bottoms that would like to see a nice inch or so of rain following the
hot temperatures of this week. Although a couple of months ago many
weren’t sure if it would ever dry out there is actually a lot of pastures
and corn fields which could use a sensible small amount of moisture. Hay
supplies are moderate, demand is moderate. Hay prices are mostly steady
although some round bales of mid to lower quality grass hay are being
sold at lower prices. The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay
directory available for both buyers and sellers. To be listed, or to view
