(PRICES PER BU. EXCEPT GR. SORG. PER CWT) *NEW CROP **PREVIOUS WEEK’S PRICES
The last week of Missouri has been dangerously cold. At least for the short term, mud has frozen up. The arrival of February, however, is supposed to bring temperatures that will bring back the mud. Hay feeding has been at max levels as producers work to keep livestock healthy and alive. Hay business is about the same story as has been stated the last month or so. There is hay that can be found if one spends enough time looking, although most buyers are not too excited about prices. Most everyone is ready to put this feeding season in the history book and ready for a new growing year with some of something close to normal perhaps. The supply of hay light to moderate. Hay prices are steady to firm. Hay demand is moderate to good. 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).
