Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending Dec 06, 2019

  Compared to two week’s ago alfalfa, grass hay and ground and delivered 
hay sold steady. Demand was moderate across the state. Several areas of 
the state had snow last week with some melting going on this week. Many 
prospective buyers been calling around to contacts with some buying and 
others still on the fence on what they are willing to pay for winter 
feed. Many producers hope the snow will clear off so they can continue to 
bale cornstalks. Most loads of large squares continue to go to out of 
state dairies and horse owners. Note: “All sales are dollars per ton FOB 
the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted. All reported prices are 
confirmed sold.”
