(PRICES PER BU. EXCEPT GR. SORG. PER CWT) *NEW CROP
Cattlemen are having a hard time feeding hay this week at most farms and ranches as the warmer temperatures of the past week have left lots and pastures extremely muddy. The good news is that we are predicted to have colder temperatures the next few days that will allow the ruts to firm up. This week there was some small amounts of hay that made their way from the barn or hay pile to its final destination, a vast improvement over the last few weeks where delivery was nearly impossible. Hay prices are steady, demand moderate and supply heavy. The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory available for both buyers and sellers. To be listed, or for a directory, visit: http://www.mda.mo.gov/pdf/MOHayDirectory.pdf (All prices f.o.b. and per ton unless specified and on most recent reported sales prices listed as round bales based generally on 5x6 bales with weights of approximately 1200-1500 lbs) Supreme quality Alfalfa (RFV>185) 150.00-185.00.
