Iowa Hay Summary

Week Ending  Aug. 10, 2019

Weather continues to treat Iowa farmers well as rains continue to hold off.  
While this may be good for the hay crop, in certain parts of Iowa the corn crop
is starting to feel the lack of moisture.  Prices continue to reflect the quality 
of hay trading hands, but prices appear to be sliding slightly lower as both
better quality hay and straw become more widely available.

All hay and straw 2019 harvest unless otherwise noted.
