MISSOURI GRAIN WEEKLY TRENDS
Missouri Weekly Hay Summary (03/17/16)
Weekly Trends: Soybeans .05 lower to .02 higher, Soft Wheat .13 lower, Corn .01 lower to .02 higher, Sorghum .06 lower to .04 higher.
Although not officially spring for a few more days, the view of the country side sure could fool most. Pastures and hay fields have really begun to grow and of course the less optimistic are very concerned with a late frost and possible harm to the alfalfa crop. Most cattle are now chasing the green and hay consumption has begun to decline even though some feeding will still need to occur for a while to let grass get ahead of grazing. The supply of hay is moderate, demand is light and 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/ 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 price listed as round bales based generally on 5x6 bales with weights of approximately 1200-1500 lbs).
