Missouri Fescue Seed Report Buying stations started seeing trucks arrive last weekend and the beginning of this week, however fescue season is ending almost as fast as it started for many. The crop matured very quickly and moisture for seed coming in is typically 15-20% where as most years when the first trucks arrive its high 20’s to low 30’s. Several buying stations already talking of closing shop for the year either because they are already full due to large amounts of carry over, or else because the seed just isn’t coming in. Most producers are reporting they are covering lots of ground to fill the trucks as seed yield is just not there this year. For all practical purposes cutting season will be complete by mid next week. Prices in all areas of the state are steady. (Dry: Moisture 12-14% - Wet: Moisture greater than 14%) (Prices per lb.)
