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
