A week of average to slightly above temperatures reassured farmers hopes that someday winter will end. Many, especially those in the lower 1/3 of the state even noticed a slight tint of green. The down side is warmer temperatures have resulted in deep mud and unpaved roads becoming quite difficult for travel in areas. Hay piles, especially in the northern 1/3 of the state which has had a very difficult winter, are very small if not nonexistent. Many farmers are counting and recounting bales left in the hay pen and comparing the projected feeding days left trying to just survive till grass time. The supply of hay is light to moderate, demand moderate and prices steady. Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory available for both buyers and sellers.
