Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 4/03/20

Almost hard to believe it is now April, following some severe storms last 
weekend that saw some areas of the state getting some very damaging hail 
the weather seems to try to straighten up a bit. A lot of fertilizer has 
finally been spread in the last week and finding a buggy to rent became 
somewhat difficult. There was even a small amount of field work done in 
some of the far northern parts of the state, but producers had to really 
pick and choose what fields they pulled into. Hay season is officially 
under way as reports from several southern states of hay cutting taking 
place. The supply of hay is moderate, demand is light, 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
