Although there has been very little snow cover this feeding season farmers are in full swing feeding hay as stock piled pastures are diminished for most producers. Several inquiries for horse quality alfalfa in small quantities as typical despite overall hay supply which high quality alfalfa always seems to be tougher to find and demands a pretty good premium for small squares and small lots. The hard winds that have blown this week have helped to dry up some of the mud and getting around is a bit easier in most areas this week. The supply of hay is moderate, demand is light and prices are mostly 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 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).
