Weekly Montana Hay Report
Compared to last week: Hay prices sold generally steady to 10.00
lower. Producers looking to sell excess loads were willing to take
lower money in order to finish selling last year’s crop if they wished
to do so. Demand was light to moderate and hay is selling on slow
to moderate market activity. Many producers are looking to next
years harvest as dry land fields look mostly good. Warm weather
and scattered rain showers have help spur alfalfa growth, and
fields look good across much of the state. No new crop contract
prices have been seen, however discussions about prices are starting
to be made. All prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless otherwise
noted.

Missouri Weekly Hay Summary
Week ending 05/18/2018 May means hay if a producers priority is bailing grass hay especially fescue at peak quality. Producers who manage for quality year in and out know that they sacrifice some yields in exchange for higher quality forages, however due to the late start to the growing season early reports have those yields even less than normal. Rains have been very scattered over the last week and far from the wide spread moisture that would be welcomed by nearly everyone especially those in the northwest part of the state. Producers would really like to rebuild hay stocks but that looks to be shaping up to be a very difficult task this year. Hay supplies are light to moderate, demand is light to moderate and prices are steady. 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 specified and on most recent reported sales price listed as round bales based generally on 5x6 bales with weights of approximately 1200-1500 lbs). Supreme quality Alfalfa (RFV <185) 180.00-250.00 small squares 6.50-8.00 per bale Premium quality Alfalfa (RFV 170-180) 160.00-200.00 Good quality Alfalfa (RFV 150-170) 120.00-160.00 small squares 5.00-7.00 per bale Fair quality Alfalfa (RFV 130-150) 100.00-120.00 Good quality Mixed Grass hay 100.00-150.00 Small squares 4.00-6.00 per bale (some alfalfa/grass mix) Fair to Good quality Mixed Grass hay 50.00-100.00 small squares 3.00-5.00 per bale Fair quality Mixed Grass hay 25.00-50.00 per large round bale Good quality Bromegrass 100.00-150.00 Fair to Good quality Bromegrass 50.00-80.00 Wheat straw 3.00-6.00 per small square bale
