Week ending 7/10/20
Farmers continue making and adding to hay piles which are taking up a
lot more space along the fence lines than what has been used for several
years. Triple digit heat indices in the state this week have some which
haven’t been under the right cloud to start to worry about moisture.
Counties one and two deep along the western boarder south of Kansas City
are now showing on the latest drought monitor but there are several other
spots where farmers sure wouldn’t mind a rain. That being said a few
areas have water standing in fields after isolated down pours. 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
