Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 2/28/20

Another dose of winter weather and some heavy rain brought the return of 
mud and frustrations as farmers try to care for livestock.  Still several 
feeding days left if not months but as March arrives thoughts of spring 
are in the air. 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
