Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 6/26/20

The rains forecasted for the last week failed to fall for most areas. 
There was some pockets and spots that received some downpours but nothing 
widespread. According to the latest crop progress report hay harvest is 
slightly ahead of the five-year average which isn’t a big surprise to 
anyone given the unusually long window of decent weather over the last 
month. Farmers are glad to be able to get work done and although the 
drought monitor looks mostly blank for the state there are some thinking 
a nice inch of rain sure wouldn’t hurt nothing. hay movement is mostly 
slow but there is some hay being sold out of the fields around the state 
as many farmers are bailing more than they know they will need for winter 
feeding. Hay prices are mostly steady. The supply of hay is moderate to 
heavy, and demand is light. The Missouri Department 
of Agriculture has a hay directory visit
