Although hint of spring continue to show up, winter sure is not letting go easy. Freezing rain and snow made up most of the weather over the last week. Farmers are continuing to use up what hay they have and are really ready for feeding season to end and grass to arrive. Hay movement has been moderate on days weather allows for travel. Most hay being bought is coming with quite a fright bill as it just isn’t easy to find much if any locally which has been the case for a while. Hay supplies are light, demand is moderate and 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). Supreme quality Alfalfa (RFV <185) 200.00-250.00 small squares 7.00-10.00 per bale Premium quality Alfalfa (RFV 170-180) 175.00-200.00 Good quality Alfalfa (RFV 150-170) 120.00-160.00 small squares 5.00-7.00 per bale Fair quality Alfalfa (RFV 130-150) 100.00-120.00 Good quality Mixed Grass hay 100.00-150.00 Small squares 5.00-8.00 per bale (some alfalfa/grass mix) Fair to Good quality Mixed Grass hay 75.00-125.00 small squares 4.00-6.00 per bale Fair quality Mixed Grass hay 40.00-75.00 per large round bale Good quality Bromegrass 120.00-150.00 Fair to Good quality Bromegrass 60.00-100.00 Wheat straw 3.00-6.00 per small square bale Corn Stalks 50.00-70.00 per large round bale
