Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending Nov 08, 2019

  Compared to last week alfalfa, grass hay and ground and delivered hay 
sold steady. Some contacts have had quite a few calls and other stated 
the phone has been slow this week. A lot of cornstalks and bean stubble 
is getting baled. Some contacts reported fall harvest is done with 
several reports “we” still have some acres to get out. Some of the corn 
has been slow to dry down. A few, reports corn is still testing at 18-20 
percent moisture in some areas of the state. Test weights per bushel at 
various places are a little lower than the normal 56 lbs.  Note: “All 
sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise 
noted. All reported prices are confirmed sold.”
