Nebraska Hay Summary

Week Ending January 04, 2019


  Compared to two weeks ago all reported baled forages sold steady. Dehy 
pellets sold 20.00 higher in the Eastern side of the state with the 
Platte Valley trading steady. Demand was light the first week of the New 
Year. Many contacts stated not a lot of calls coming in from new 
prospective buyers just the “regular” customers. Field conditions are 
poor in some areas of the state from rain and snow between Christmas and 
New Year’s making it hard for trucks to enter or exit hay piles. A 
million dollar question that comes up conversations will the baled hay 
market come up in the near future?  As, cornstalk production has been 
halted from Mother Nature it will be the roll of the dice to see what 
happens with the price of all other forages. As of today, no upward surge 
in prices of any forages but this time next week may be a different 
story. Some farmers in the Western side of the state still combining milo 
and some area corn farmers still busy with harvest. Many reports crops 
are not drying down so farmers just left the crop in the fields. But, 
with snow, rain and ice some are getting the products out before all is 
lost. All sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn, unless 
otherwise noted.

Missouri Weekly Hay Summary

Week ending 1/04/2019

Although temperatures have been freezing at nights the days are still 
warming enough that mud continues to be much more of an issue than snow 
so far this feeding season.  There continues to be a lot of folks looking 
for hay but generally it seems to be smaller producers looking for a few 
small squares or one or two big rounds. There is hay for sale but 
distance seems to be the problem unlike most years many are having to go 
farther than they are used too and not just to a nearby neighbor. After 
the dry summer most local farmers just do not have any surplus to part 
with. The supply of hay light to moderate. Hay prices are steady. Hay 
demand is moderate to good. The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a 
hay directory available for both buyers and sellers. To be listed, or for 
a directory visit http://mda.mo.gov/abd/haydirectory/ for listings of hay 
http://agebb.missouri.edu/haylst/ (All prices f.o.b. and per ton unless

based generally on 5x6 bales with weights of approximately 1200-1500 lbs).
