Week ending June 19, 2020
Compared to last week old crop small squares and hay cubes steady. No
comparison for new crop hay. Most of first cutting is wrapped up in the
Eastern side of the state and most reported tonnage is 30% to 50% less
than last year. Western parts of the state are just getting to cut hay.
Several factors hurting the tons is dry weather and having a hard time
keeping enough water on the fields. Late frost in April slowed the plant
up a lot and weevils have moved in several fields across the state. Where
will the price go this summer? It’s anyone’s guess as what will happen.
Several regions of the state are in dry or moderately dry weather pattern
and the darn wind has really help dry top and sub-moister. A good general
rain across the state would really help the agriculture sector out.
NOTE: “All prices are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn unless
otherwise noted.”
