Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending Dec 13, 2019

  Compared to last week alfalfa, grass hay and ground and delivered 
hay sold steady. Buyer inquiry light to moderate for in-state feeding 
needs with good demand for hay leaving the state.  Some contacts stated 
hard to move hay off of fields due to soft ground conditions. Many 
contacts are planning on baling cornstalks after the snow melts from the 
fields and will continue to bale as long as the stalks are in good shape. 
Note: “All sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless 
otherwise noted.”
