(PRICES PER BU. EXCEPT GR. SORG. PER CWT) *NEW CROP
The north 1/3 of the state once again got pounded with snow this past week. Some areas saw 10-12 or more inches of the white stuff, while the middle 1/3 received significant rains, which made creeks and rivers run bank full. Currently most farmers are just trying to survive another month knowing grass is on the way, and hoping spring is a bit more average than the last couple years for the start of the growing season. 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/hay directory (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 12001500 lbs) Supreme quality Alfalfa (RFV>185) 150.00-185.00.
