Wyoming Hay Summary

Week ending Nov 18, 2019

   Compared to last week hay steady. Demand was moderate for local sales 
and good demand noted on hay leaving the state for horse clients. Some 
contacts stated their hay sheds are almost empty as they have been 
shipping hay at a rapid pace. Many contacts usually have hay in their 
sheds till after the first of the year. But, some say they will be 
cleaned out way before then. January like temps across most of the state 
this week, several reports it has halted farming and most outside work.  
Most think they will get back into the fields by the first of next week. 
Some corn on the ground in some area after strong winds prevailed on 
Monday. Some corn will be saved but there are a few reports that near 100 
bushels of corn lost on the ground. Light snow on the ground in some 
areas with some producers waiting for the snow to melt so they can finish 
baling hay for the 2019 season.  Note: “All prices are dollars per ton 
FOB the field or hay barn unless otherwise noted.”

Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa and hay trade remain exceedingly limited.  Winter weather 
advisories mixed with rain and sleet haven't helped with the light 
movement. Cattle prices continue to add to low demand with reports of 
selling a dozen calves just to pay for the higher hay prices. The few 
sales that have occurred are mostly steady.  Premium quality hay very 
difficult to find and the horse quality hay that is available isn't in 
high demand as of now. The few producers that are still haying are on 
third cutting of Bermudagrass and 6th to 7th cutting of alfalfa with not 
much optimism for quality due to rainfall mostly. Reports of some 
livestock owners having substantial grass and hay inventories where 
others have used up pasture grazing but looking for lower quality hay to 
get through the cold snap. 

Market News continues to maintain an online hay directory for both in-
state and out-of-state hay producers.  The directories are on the ODAFF 
homepage at www.oda.state.ok.us. Producers wishing to list hay are 
encouraged to call at 1-405-521-3864 or email 
OklahomaCity.LPGMN@usda.gov.

Hay market trade was slow, demand was slow to moderate, and prices remain 
steady. Nothing new going on, all is steady as she goes. Most producers are 
still reporting hay movement as slow, as harvest is keeping then busy. Cattle 
are starting to move to pens so inquires have picked up a bit. The state is 
bracing for its first major winter storm of the year, with all but a handful of 
counties under a winter weather advisory. Abnormal dryness and moderate drought 
continued to expand in western Kansas and the little snow received previously 
was not enough to make dent. Abnormally dry (D0) conditions are at 13 pct, 
moderate drought (D1) conditions are at 7.5 pct. and severe drought (D2) 
conditions are at 6 pct. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay here

State-By-State Hay Summary

Colorado—Compared to last week, trade activity and demand light to moderate. Stored feed supplies were rated 3% short, 80% adequate, and 17% surplus with fourth cutting alfalfa progress at 57%.

Iowa—Dairy cow and goat producers continue to look for the highest quality hay and straw, but are having trouble trying to locate it.

Kansas—The hay market trade was slow, demand was slow to moderate, and prices steady. Most producers are reporting hay movement as slow, as many are in the field busy with harvest and baling that last bit of hay. There was, however, a little more grass hay moving within the last week.

Missouri—Most producers are still reporting hay movement as slow. Hay listings have increased over the last week with a lot of new hay being offered as several producers try to move some surplus inventory. Hay supplies are moderate, demand is light and prices are steady to weak.

Montana—Alfalfa hay sold fully steady. Moderate market activity was seen again this week. Ranchers were more active in purchasing hay this week as many have begun to market their calves. Demand for hay selling out of the state continues to be good.

Nebraska—All reported forages sold mostly steady. Demand picked up this week with several contacts noting they had quite a few calls from prospective buyers. Several reports that third or fourth cutting of alfalfa is on the ground, some has been baled. Some cornstalks getting baled on fields where high moisture corn was picked.

New Mexico­—Compared to last week, alfalfa hay large bales prices steady to $40 lower. Trade limited, demand moderate. Regions in the sixth cutting. Temperatures dropped across the state slowing growth.

Oklahoma—Alfalfa and hay trade still extremely slow, in fact some say slowest it has ever been. The limited trade that has taken place is at steady money. Premium quality hay very difficult to find. Farmers have been busy this week cutting and baling bermuda grass and hoping for continued dry weather for baling.

South Dakota—Alfalfa hay steady to firm, grass not well tested. Demand is very good for high quality hay of all kinds, especially if it is in a large square bale. Many out of state buyers are searching desperately for high quality alfalfa. There is a much more plentiful supply of lower quality alfalfa and grass hay as it was so difficult to make hay with a high feeding value. Very good demand for straw already.

Texas—Hay trades were steady on light demand and trading activity. Warmer temperatures and sporadic rains have offered temporary improvements on pastures and provided some relief for livestock producers, which has slowed hay demand. The general consensus is hay demand will pick up following the first real freeze and after fall harvest.

Wyoming—Compared to last week hay sold fully steady. Demand was moderate to good. Several hay contacts still trying to put up their final bales of alfalfa and other forages. Most reports of overall tonnage a little less than previous years and most producers struggled to put up a lot of top quality hay.

Weekly Montana Hay Report

Compared to last week: Alfalfa hay sold steady to firm. Moderate market activity 
was seen again this week. Ranchers continue to be more active in purchasing hay this
week. Demand for squares to ship east to Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa is very good.
A very wet summer in the northern plains has led to a shortage of hay in those 
states. Producers continue to finish putting up hay for the season. Early season 
snow storms and a relatively cool summer have many producers behind in finishing 
up haying season. All prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless otherwise noted.

Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report: Hay trades were mostly steady to firm on 
light to moderate demand and trading activity.  Colder temperatures moved 
into North Texas this week.  The cold front was accompanied by timely 
moisture in the form of snow that fell in the Panhandle on Thursday.  The 
snow will offer a boost to the recently planted winter wheat in the area.  
The cold snap in the Northern part of the state has hay producer’s 
hopeful that hay demand will finally pick up.  According to the US 
Drought Monitor, drought conditions are continuing to spread in the 
Central and Southern regions. 

   The Texas Department of Agriculture has Hay and Grazing phone set 
up for Buyers and sellers looking for hay or grazing; the number is 1-

South Dakota Weekly Hay Summary

All prices per ton, unless noted, FOB the stack.


   Compared to last week:  Alfalfa hay remains steady to firm, especially
for large squares.  Demand very good for high quality hay of all kinds,
best demand is for large square bales bound for out of state buyers.
The demand for round bales is much lower as this supply is much more
plentiful.  Frequent rains and humid conditions this summer made it very
difficult to make large square bales that would not spoil, which resulted
in a lighter supply.  More rain and cool temps keeping producers from
cutting and baling cover crops.  All hay and straw sold by the ton FOB,
unless otherwise noted.

Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa and hay trade still extremely slow, in fact some say slowest
it has ever been.  A severe cold front is in the forecast for late in 
the week and over the weekend bringing even colder than normal seasonal
temperatures in some parts of the state.  Spring born calves have begun
to hit the market and much lower prices have producers less likely to
purchase or even inquire about hay prices due to light demand.  The very
limited trade that has taken place is at steady money.  Premium quality
hay very difficult to find.  In the south some farmers are having to
replant wheat because conditions were too dry or the wheat that came up
was overtaken by Army Worms.  Army Worms also posing a problem for grass
hay fields and farmers having to spray.  

Market News continues to maintain an online hay directory for both in-
state and out-of-state hay producers.  The directories are on the ODAFF 
homepage at www.oda.state.ok.us. Producers wishing to list hay are 
encouraged to call at 1-405-521-3864 or email

Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 10/25/19

Cooler below average temperatures has been the story again this week with 
even lower temperatures predicted next week.  It is finally safe to say 
most, not all but most, hay equipment has now been put away for the year. 
After having nothing to bale due to the drought last year it seemed as if 
hay season would never end this year. Ample moisture kept grasses growing 
even though what are normally the dry months, so many just kept on making 
hay and rebuilding inventories. Movement continues to be slow. Hay 
supplies are moderate, demand is light and prices are steady to weak.  
The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory available for 
both buyers and sellers. To be listed, or to view the directory visit

Hay market trade was slow, demand was slow to moderate, and prices steady.  Most 
producers are reporting hay movement as slow, as many are in the field busy with 
harvest and baling that last bit of hay. There was, however, a little more grass
