(PRICES PER BU. EXCEPT GR. SORG. PER CWT) *NEW CROP
Spring has officially arrived, however it was hard to convince many of that over the past weekend, as a short lived but powerful winter storm passed over the state. Temperatures dropped 30 to 35 degrees and 10 to 14 inches of snow fell in the hardest hit areas in the west and southwest part of the state. Despite what is, seemingly at this point, going to be another less than normal spring, several farmers have managed to get fertilizer spread on hay and pastures. No reports of anyone, even the guys that run early, being able to get any work done in the crop fields though. Unlike the last several years with large amounts of carryover hay the amount of hay carried over into this growing season is basically to the point of non-existent. 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. 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 1200-1500 lbs) Supreme quality Alfalfa (RFV>185) 150.00-185.00.
