Week ending 1/17/20
Farmers found themselves dealing with muddy nasty conditions after a warm
up following heavy rains, flash flooding and snow last weekend. Another
front expected over the next few days and a big dip in temperatures early
next week should finally freeze the ground which many hope will last a
while. Final year in production numbers were released late last week and
confirmed what most of us knew. Missouri made a lot of hay last year!
Ending 2019 stocks were higher than any state in nation up nearly 65%
from the very difficult year of 2018. 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
