Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending January 03, 2020

  Compared to last released report, all baled hay and ground and 
delivered hay sold steady. Dehy pellets in the eastern side of the state 
sold 20.00 higher, Platte Valley area steady. One would have thought the 
demand for either baled or ground hay would have shot upward after the 
holiday blizzard but contacts said phone has been slow to ring. Many 
scenarios have been talked about when the demand will pick up for local 
hay feeding needs. Some areas of the state received rain with others 
areas getting heavy snow accumulations after Christmas. Bright sunny days 
since Jan 01, have aided in melting some of the snow. Note: “All 
sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise 
noted.”
