Iowa Hay Summary

Week Ending  December 14, 2018

Prices on hay were steady to slightly higher this week.  Buyers continued to chase
top quality of hay.  However, most of the top of the line hay was packaged as small
squares. Buyers of alfalfa/grass combinations had their choice of bale sizes and
shapes.  But again availablity was tight.  Buyers who did not lock in hay supplies
earlier this year may struggle to fill their needs.  Parts of Iowa are reporting 
pregnant cows going to market due to shortfall of quality hay for the winter.

Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report:  All hay classes traded steady to firm on 
good demand with limited supply.  A variety of hay, such has hay grazer 
or cotton burrs, used to cheapen rations in the Panhandle continues to be 
bought up as soon as it hits the market to soften Alfalfa and Bermuda 
prices.  Coastal Bermuda producers in East, North and South Texas have 
battled army worms, early frosts and rain in getting their 4th cutting 
therefore reports of short supply with many producers already sold out.    
Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except where noted. 

   The Texas Department of Agriculture has Hay and Grazing phone set

their third cutting of alfalfa in the NW area of the state. Other areas

noted.
