Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending June 26, 2020

Compared to last week, all reported forages sold steady, except ground 
and delivered hay in the west sold 10.00 lower. Several reports of out of 
state buyer inquiry on the calls this week. Several states to the south 
and west of Nebraska are dry along with some areas of this state. Reports 
that there is a good amount of carry over hay in some regions. It may not 
be top quality but it will be really good grinding hay. Some contacts 
stated there are several acres of new alfalfa seeding/oats across the 
state. With some of the oats getting cut and baled. Along with triticale 
and wheat have been baled with some wheatlage going to the pit. Some of 
the operators are getting ready to start on second cutting of alfalfa as 
they like to be on the 28-32 day cycle between cuttings.  Note: “All 
sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless otherwise 
noted.”
