Many producers have started analyzing their operations and are making decisions about how to use their acres. The trend in recent years has seen hay and pasture acres lost to corn and soybeans; that seems likely again this year. The mild weather and calendar, no doubt have producers readying for fertilizer application. Hay demand is moderate, supplies are light and prices are 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/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) Fair to Good quality Alfalfa (RFV130-170) 150.00-250.00 Good quality mixed Alfalfa and grass 100.00-185.00 Good quality Brome 100.00-135.00 Fair quality Brome mixed with grass 75.00-125.00 Good to Premium quality Mixed Grass hay 100.00-180.00 Good quality Mixed Grass hay 85.00-130.00 Fair to Good quality Mixed Grass hay 50.00-85.00 Fair to Good quality Bermuda grass 100.00-150.00 Wheat straw 3.00-6.00 per small square bale
