Wyoming Hay Summary

Week ending June 05, 2020

Compared to last week old crop baled hay, alfalfa cubes and sun-cured 
pellets steady on a light test. Best demand has been for alfalfa cubes 
mostly going to horse owners across the nation.  As of June 4th most of 
the state is listed as abnormally dry by the US drought monitor. Most 
producers have ran watered at least once and many are on their second 
time through the field. Limited hay has been cut and baled in the western 
areas. Quite a lot of alfalfa has been cut and baled in the eastern side 
of the state. Some of the reporting areas in the east had been hit by 
hail along with a few bug infestations. 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.  “All prices are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn 
unless otherwise noted.”
