The weather has been classic Missouri weather with temperatures ranging from 70 degree highs in southern Missouri last weekend to single digits lows by Friday morning. The big problem this week came in the form of ice. Some areas have reported right at a half inch on trees and lines which is just not safe or good for man or beast. Many continue to look for hay as most farmers are using up supplies quickly. 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.
