Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 12/06/19

Some producers are starting to feed some hay but many still have some 
stockpiled pastures that will last a while as long as they don’t get snow 
covered. Mud is becoming a problem as the ground has once again thawed 
out making getting around a bit difficult. Unlike many neighboring states 
hay supplies are in good shape prior to winter. Like normal a lot of fair 
hay but the top quality hay is bit harder to find and requires more time 
and effort to fine. The supply of hay is moderate to heavy, demand is 
light to moderate and prices are steady. The Missouri Department of 
Agriculture has a hay directory available for both buyers and sellers. 
To be listed, or to view the directory visit
