Hay inquires took a step up this week. Demand has been good for quite some time as supplies are generally light. Although the feeding season is on the downhill slide as far as number of days left goes many are feeling they may need a few more bales before the arrival of grass. By far the overwhelming majority of calls is from smaller hobby type farmers or horse owners who maybe not have the ability or need for semi loads at a time. Many of these individuals are not used to the struggles which have resulted from last year’s drought and having to ship hay in as opposed to getting a bale or two at a time from a neighbor. Hay prices are steady. 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).
