Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending July 10, 2020

Compared to last week, alfalfa sold steady. Ground and delivered hay 
sold steady to 10.00 higher. Some contacts have had a few calls others 
said the phone has been quiet. Some producers are on second cutting of 
alfalfa. Some grass hay producers have been across some hay meadows they 
have not hayed in a couple of years. Rains have been very spotty across 
the state. Most areas could use a nice general rain especially on dryland 
crops and pastures.  Note: “All sales are dollars per ton FOB the field 
or hay barn, unless otherwise noted.”
