Missouri Weekly Hay Summary After near record highs late last week, farmers were reminded it is still winter as light snow and single digit temperatures arrived late this week. Hay movement remains light as many hay piles will easily last until grass arrives. There is an abundance of hay for sale from very low quality hay, which would require added nutrients, to very high quality dairy hay. The supply of hay is moderate to heavy 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).

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
