(PRICES PER BU. EXCEPT GR. SORG. PER CWT) *NEW CROP
It has reached the time of year once again where many farmers are wondering if spring and warmth will ever arrive. Winter storm after winter storm has been passing through the state over the last several weeks. Feeding is difficult in most areas to put it mildly. Most truckers are staying plenty busy given the fact most deliveries are squeezed down to just a few days each week when road conditions are safe enough to travel and hay pens are frozen enough not to get stuck. The supply of hay remains heavy, mostly average to lower quality hay, demand moderate and prices mostly steady. Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory available for both buyers and sellers. To be listed, or for a directory, visit, http://mda.mo.gov/ abd/haydirectory (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.
