Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 5/15/20

Below average temperatures were the story once again this week. Several 
areas of the state saw a late frost which is certainly no good. Sun and 
some warm would be much appreciated to get hay and pastures growing at a 
faster rate. About the only hay that has been bailed has been wrapped at 
this point and there has been a fair amount of that done as producers can 
get in fields. The supply of hay is moderate, demand is light, and prices 
are mostly steady. The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay 
directory visit http://mda.mo.gov/abd/haydirectory/ for listings of hay
