Overly warm weather has thoughts of spring going through the minds of both farmers and livestock. Cattle that are getting the same amount of feed as in previous weeks aren’t quite cleaning up their daily rations as well and leaving some to waste. Quite a bit of field work being done in preparation of spring planting this week. A major concern currently is around a lack of moisture. Although everyone is aware Missouri could be flooded out in two weeks currently though subsoil could use a drink. 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).
