Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 7/10/20

July heat continues to take a toll on the state in the last week the 
drought monitor went from showing 11 percent of the state to over 50 
percent. There was some rains mid-week in the north half of the state but 
the rocks in the southern half continue to dry out and burn more each 
day.  Farmers have baled a lot of hay this year which if the situation 
doesn’t change there will be some feeding that has to take place before 
long for some. 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 http://mda.mo.gov/abd/haydirectory/
