The northwest portion of the state received their first snow of the winter this week, and even though it didn’t stick around it served as a remind of things to come. Most areas of the state are experiencing cold temperatures making supplemental feeding of forages a must in all areas. The availability of high quality, dairy type alfalfa is limited but all other hay is readily available. State wide hay supply is moderate, currently demand is light and hay prices are steady. The 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/ or for current listings of hay http://agebb.missouri.edu/ haylst/ (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) The supply of hay is moderate to heavy, demand light, and prices steady. Premium to Supreme quality Alfalfa 140.00-175.00 Fair to Good quality Alfalfa large round bales 75.00-120.00 Small, Large squares 90.00-140.00 Good quality mixed Alfalfa and grass small square bales 3.50-5.00 per bale; 30.00-60.00 per large round bale.
