Hay movement is moderate and despite ice storms that hit much of the southern 1/3 of the state this week, most all areas were able to find at least a few days acceptable for trucking hay. Over all hay demand moderate but many farmers are keeping close tabs on the hay pile and the calendar trying not to buy any more hay than what will be needed for this feeding year. Hay supply is moderate for this late in the season and prices mostly steady, however sellers are having a harder time finding buyers as willing to pay the top prices for hay this late in the season. Many buyers seem more willing to shop a bit longer trying to find better deals. The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay hotline available for both buyers and sellers.
