Iowa Hay Summary

Week Ending  July 05, 2019

New hay that hit the market the last two weeks has been snapped up.  Overall,
the hay quality was below what growers were hoping for, but those that did
harvest first cutting felt lucky that they were able to do so.  New crop straw
was in short supply as the wheat harvest has been stopped by intermitent rains.

All hay and straw 2019 harvest unless otherwise noted.

Kansas Hay Market Report

Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement:   Southwest/South Central 
Tonnage: 9,709/5,784 Last week: 7,767/5,533    Last year: 9,487/5,827
             
Hay market trade, activity and demand is moderate, with an increase in alfalfa 
trades. Prices remained generally steady. Alfalfa prices have been variable, due 
to the unpredictable weather pattern of this haying season. Prices this week, 
however, seemed to settle a bit as hay producers finally had a hot and dry week 
to get hay put up. Dairy quality hay remains elusive as it has proven very 
difficult to put up without being rained on at least once. DUE TO THE SHORTENED 
HOLIDAY WEEK, THERE WILL BE NO REPORT NEXT WEEK, JULY 9. THE NEXT REPORT WILL BE 
JULY 16.  If you have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay here in Kansas, use
