Iowa Hay Summary

Week Ending  Oct. 18, 2019
After a frost last weekend, Iowa welcomed warmer weather back.  By Friday,
Central Iowa was looking at temperatures pushing 70 with overnight lows in 
the upper 40s.  Dairy cow and goat producers continue to look for the highest
quality hay and straw but are having trouble trying to locate it.
