Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 3/13/20

Spring field work was just getting started late last week before being 
placed on hold due to rains at the start of the week. There was quite a 
bit of equipment cutting in anhydrous over the weekend and several buggies 
out spreading fertilizer, as well. Several gooseneck loads of round bales 
were spotted on the roads this week and quite a few listings being added 
as producers are trying to move any extra inventory before new crop hay 
arrives. 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
