(PRICES PER BU. EXCEPT GR. SORG. PER CWT) *NEW CROP
A major winter storm hit Missouri on Wednesday afternoon with 4 to 6 inches of new snow, high winds and falling temperatures. Drifting snow is a major concern as of now and the Highway Patrol and MODOT are asking motorists not to travel unless they absolutely have to. This storm has put a halt to all movement of hay. Cattle producers are spending their days feeding and thawing out water supplies. Hay demand will surely increase as soon as the weather will allow for purchasing and movement of hay. Hay prices are steady, demand moderate, and supply is heavy. Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay hotline available for both buyers and sellers.
