Week Ending Oct 04, 2019
Compared to last week all reported forages sold steady. Hay movement is
rather slow for this time of year due to muddy road conditions to not
knowing how much tonnage one might need to buy for winter feed needs and
maybe lack of cash flow. It appears some cattle will have to be out in
the pastures longer than normal as corn harvest is behind and many
cattlemen have no place to hold cows over till cornstalk time. Some
producers continue to cut alfalfa, some are cutting cane and millet.
Some farmers are picking soybeans and others are on hi-moisture corn to
feedlots. Some reports soybean moisture from 11 percent and up and corn
is 27-30 percent moisture. Cooler than normal temperatures the next week
will not aid in the drying process. Note: “All sales are dollars per ton
FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted. All reported prices
are on confirmed sold prices.”
