Iowa Hay Summary

Week Ending  Aug. 31, 2019

Most of the hay marketed thismonth in Iowa was the tail end of the second cutting.
Prices were stable for what many considered lower quality product.  The forages 
that fell into the the Supreme and Premium categories were the beginning of the
third cuttings.  Hay producers who are hoping for a fourth cutting believe that this
later cutting may be the best quality of the year.
