Most cattle producers have wrapped up the feeding season and now turned cattle to grass for the summer. Hay producers are ready to put the season in the books and look towards new crop hay and hopefully a better year of business. Field work slowly got back under way in most of the state. Although spring planting doesn’t take long with the right weather, so far planting has gotten off to a very slow start. The supply of hay is moderate and demand is light. Prices are steady. 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/ or for current 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).
