Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending Nov 15, 2019

  Compared to last week alfalfa, grass hay and ground and delivered hay 
sold steady. Demand was light to moderate in the central and eastern 
regions of the state with good demand noted in the Panhandle from out of 
state buyers. Several loads of large squares continue to head east down 
I-80 to dairies, horse owners and cattlemen for winter needs. Several 
reports balers are very busy wrapping up cornstalks this fall. Contacts 
stated most stalk bales are better quality than last year, consisting of 
more shucks and fodder than previous years. 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. Note: “All sales are 
dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted. All 
reported prices are confirmed sold.”
