Missouri Weekly Hay Summary As the feeding season progresses, there is some light movement of hay taking place. But as we have stated for months now, farmers went into the season with good inventories on hand and have plenty of stockpiled pastures. The mild winter has been friendly to those hay piles and made the hay business of marketing hay very difficult. Several new listings are being made as sellers try to figure out how to market what will otherwise likely be a sizeable carry over. The supply of hay is moderate to heavy and demand is light. Prices are steady. Supreme quality Alfalfa (RFV <185) 180.00-200.00 Premium quality Alfalfa (RFV 170-180) 150.00-190.00 Good quality Alfalfa (RFV 150-170) 120.00-160.00 Fair quality Alfalfa (RFV 130-150) 100.00-120.00 Good quality Mixed Grass hay 75.00-95.00 Fair to Good quality Mixed Grass hay 40.00-65.00 Fair quality Mixed Grass hay 20.00-35.00 per large round bale Fair to Good quality Bromegrass 50.00-70.00 Wheat straw 3.00-5.00 per small square bale
