Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending Dec 20, 2019

  Compared to last week dehy pellets sold steady with sun-cured pellets 
trading steady to 10.00 higher. Bales of alfalfa, grass hay and ground 
and delivered forages sold steady. Buyer inquiry light to moderate for 
in-state feeding needs with good demand for hay leaving the state. Most 
hay haulers hoping the snow melts and the ground will freeze so they can 
continue to move loads of hay from the country to feedlots or other 
ranchers. Some areas of the state had a dusting of snow last weekend with 
some areas of north central NE receiving 6 to 10 inches.  Note: “All 
sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise 
noted.”
