Week ending 2/13/20
Another week and another winter storm in between warm-ups and thawing
out. Areas to the south got more rain, while snow was mostly to the
north. Most farmers are getting quite tired of weather swings that make
feeding and caring for livestock much more difficult than if it would
just get cold and stay that way for a while. Hay supplies are still
adequate, and most farmers seem to be in pretty good shape. Hay movement
is slow. The supply of hay is moderate, 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 http://mda.mo.gov/abd/haydirectory/ for listings of
hay http://agebb.missouri.edu/haylst/ (All prices f.o.b. and per ton
