Weekly Montana Hay Report

Compared to last report: Alfalfa hay sold fully steady. Movement was lighter
this week compared to the last two weeks. Demand for hay in squares remains
good. High quality hay is relatively tight as hail and rain have done major
damage to hay quality. Exporters were back in the state this week looking for
high quality green, clean hay. Dairy hay is moving at a steady pace with in
state and out of state sales both at similar FOB prices. All prices below are new 
crop hay unless otherwise noted. All prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless 
otherwise noted.
