Another week of the same song and dance as the hay business has been mostly inactive. There has been a very limited amount of local sales taking place and some hay mostly traveling through the state from the west to neighboring states east but those sales aren’t providing cash flow for producers here. The supply of hay is moderate to heavy, 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). Supreme quality Alfalfa (RFV <185) 180.00-200.00 Premium quality Alfalfa (RFV 170-180) 150.00-190.00 Good quality Alfalfa (RFV 150-170) 120.00-160.00 Fair quality Alfalfa (RFV 130-150) 100.00-120.00 Good quality Mixed Grass hay 75.00-100.00 Fair to Good quality Mixed Grass hay 40.00-70.00 Fair quality Mixed Grass hay 20.00-35.00 per large round bale Fair to Good quality Bromegrass 50.00-80.00 Wheat straw 3.00-6.00 per small square bale
