Week Ending Sep 13, 2019
Compared to last week hay sold fully steady. Small squares of premium
grass hay sold 10.00 higher. Alfalfa pellets sold steady. Demand improved
this week as many contacts noted several calls and more confirmed sales
on hay. Once again, rain across several areas of the state shutting down
hay production and slowing green chopping. Some reports from producers
that especially have cattle, made haylaige out of most of their alfalfa
this year. As, we head into the fall and winter it will be interesting to
see what direction the hay market goes. Several comments on a limited
supply of high testing 170 or greater RFV hay in the sheds. Many reports
of hay testing from 120-160 RFV this summer on large squares. Top quality
(premium) grass hay is starting to move to feedlots as they begin to wean
bawling calves. Several reports of cane and millet hay has been cut and
waiting for warm sunny days to aid in drying. Some talks on what will
cornstalk bales be worth this fall as producers are looking to bale
hundreds of these bales for winter and spring feeding. Note: “All sales
are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted.”
“All reported prices are on confirmed sold prices.”
