Week Ending January 17, 2020
Compared to last week, all baled hay, ground and delivered hay and
alfalfa pellets sold steady. Demand remains mostly light on baled hay
products with good demand for alfalfa pellets. Most contacts have stated
there has been a lot of alfalfa hay on the market this week and some of
the “big” buyers don’t know if they should continue to stock pile
inventory or pass on procuring hay. Several reports that January is
always a slow month to sell hay. But, this January appears is
exceptionally slow. One has to remember, it is roughly 6 months till
first cutting and Nebraska still has a lot of winter to go through. So,
there is a good chance the carryover will be slim buy June. Note: “All
sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise
noted.”
