Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending May 15, 2020

Compared to last week, all reported forages sold steady. Demand was 
light.  Cattlemen continue to pinch where they can as some only need a 
few bales to get to summer grass. So, only a few they will buy as they 
bring a flatbed instead of having a semi deliver a full load. Warmer days 
on the horizon as the crops and forages really will appreciate the 
warmth.  Note: “All sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, 
unless otherwise noted.”
