Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 9/13/19

The mercury stayed well above average this week, although rain and more 
seasonal temperatures are in the forecast for the weekend and into next 
week. Hay movement remains slow and prices are steady to weak, especially 
on average to lower quality hay which there seems to be no shortage of at 
the current time. Although most producers of grass hay have put equipment 
up for the year there is still some haying going on as the season 
continues to drag on.  Hay supplies are moderate, demand is light to 
moderate.  The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory 
available for both buyers and sellers. To be listed, or to view the 
directory visit http://mda.mo.gov/abd/haydirectory/ for listings of hay
