Week Ending June 05, 2020
Compared to last week, all reported forages sold steady on a thin test.
Typically this time of year is rather slow time for selling hay and so
far, this first week of June continues with that pattern. There is some
optimism from alfalfa producers that sell to dairies. June milk futures
trading at 20.21 with July at 19.00. Around 30 days ago this price was in
the 10.00-11.00 range. Quite a few alfalfa producers been busy with hay
production across most of the state. Some cutting a tick earlier with
less tonnage but felt like they had to as weevil infestation was taking
tonnage away at a rapid pace. Most producers have had good drying weather
and had hay baled for rains blew across the region on Wednesday. Some
areas of Nebraska are abnormally dry. Note: “All sales are dollars
per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise noted.”
