Missouri Weekly Hay Summary- Week ending 07/23/10 Water once again a problem in the north half of the state some areas in the northeast reported in excess of eight inches this week. Some locations in the south are finally starting to see some moisture but the majority of pastures are rated poor to very poor. Despite the weather farmers have managed to get hay baled with progress of both alfalfa and grass hay slightly ahead of last year and only a day or two behind average. The one downfall is rains and delayed harvest has had an impact on quality in many cases. The supply of hay is moderate, demand moderate, and prices steady. Premium to Supreme quality Alfalfa 140.00-185.00 Fair to Good quality Alfalfa large round bales 75.00-140.00 Small, Large squares 90.00-150.00 Good quality mixed Alfalfa and grass small square bales 3.50-5.00 per bale; 30.00-60.00 per large round bale. Good to Premium quality Brome 90.00-150.00; Good quality Brome 50.00-120.00 Fair quality Brome some mixed with grass 30.00-50.00 per large round bale Good to Premium Mixed Grass hay 60.00-120.00 Good quality Mixed Grass hay 40.00-80.00 Fair to Good quality Mixed Grass hay 15.00-40.00 per large round bale Wheat straw 2.00-4.00 per small square bale Crop Progress and Condition 07/18/10 Agricultural Summary Drier conditions and more days in the field led to increased alfalfa and hay cuttings. There were 4.9 days suitable for fieldwork. Topsoil moisture was rated 3 percent very short, 14 percent short, 73 percent adequate and 10 percent surplus. Improvement was seen in the south-central and southeast districts as topsoil moisture went from at least 66 percent short to very short to at least 43 percent this week. Field Crops Report Corn silked and beyond was 74 percent complete, 6 days ahead of last year and a day ahead of the 5-year average (normal). Twenty-three percent of the corn was in the dough stage, 8 days ahead of last year and 3 days ahead of normal. Corn condition was rated 5 percent very poor, 16 percent poor, 31 percent fair, 40 percent good, and 8 percent excellent, similar to a week earlier. Soybean acreage was nearly fully emerged. Soybean blooming and beyond was 35 percent complete, just over 4 days ahead of last year, but a day behind normal. Nine percent of the soybeans were setting pods, 8 days ahead of last year and 2 days ahead of normal. Soybean condition was rated 5 percent very poor, 12 percent poor, 37 percent fair, 38 percent good, and 8 percent excellent, slightly better than last week. Pasture & Livestock Pasture condition was rated 9 percent very poor, 10 percent poor, 29 percent fair, 43 percent good, and 9 percent excellent, similar to last week. This year, 52 percent was rated good to excellent, compared with 68 percent last year and 41 percent for the 5year average. Although pasture condition in the south-central district improved somewhat, it was still rated 66 percent poor to very poor.
