Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending July 26, 2019

  Compared to last reported market, all reported forages sold steady. 
Demand was mostly light this week. Some producers are buying a load here 
and there as good dry hay becomes available. Ground and delivered 
producers noted it’s been really slow this month in shipping out loads of 
hay. Spotty rain showers continue to prevail across the state. 
Note: “All sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless 
otherwise noted.”
