(PRICES PER BU. EXCEPT GR. SORG. PER CWT) *NEW CROP **PREVIOUS WEEK’S PRICES
Missouri Weekly Hay Summary 03/21/19 The official arrival of spring occurred this week and with that, average temperatures are slowly climbing. Several producers are trying to utilize fertilizer buggies, but they are having to be very careful not to get stuck or rut up fields. Hay demand is good as feeding days wind down, however several producers are still in need of a few more bales. Hay supplies are light and hay prices are steady. There has been some chatter about new crop hay and pricing but there has been no confirmed reports of any agreements on price levels so far. The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory available for both buyers and sellers. To be listed, or to view the 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).
