Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 5/08/20


 Heavy winds and rain came to some areas of the state resulting in some 
flash flooding and lots of down trees to clean up. Planting of corn and 
beans in the state is making progress but slightly behind the average 
pace.  Haying is just around corner, and many are getting equipment 
ready. Replacing cutting knives, ordering twine and wrap, checking 
bearings, and getting greasing. The supply of hay is moderate, demand 
is light, and prices are steady to weak. The Missouri Department of 
Agriculture has a hay directory visit http://mda.mo.gov/abd/haydirectory/
