Heavy rains came to most of the state at different times this week. Most folks were talking about amounts in inches as opposed to tenths and several areas saw flooding for the first time in quite a while. Thoughts of field work is about as far as anything gets currently as water is standing or the ground is very spongy in most areas which is about as much of a 180 degree turn as you can have compared to what most areas were like just a month or so ago. Still several folks in the market for some good quality hay to get them a few weeks along as grass needs some sun to start growing. Hay supplies are light to moderate, demand is light to moderate 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 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).
