Missouri Direct Hay Report
Released on March 19, 2026
Seasonal transitions have been in full force the last couple of weeks,
from record highs to mid-teens and heading back to more possible records
by this weekend.
Grass is greening and livestock haven't been as eager to clean up hay
on the days that had sunshine, and snow wasn't on the ground.
A lot of hay still coming to the market as producers try to move some
inventory before feeding season ends.
The drought monitor has shown some improvement but still most of the
state is highlighted, despite the fact one can get stuck very quickly
in most areas currently.
A few producers have put some fertilizer on, but it has been very limited
thus far applications should pick up a lot in the next couple of
weeks by the way the weather looks as long as co-ops and suppliers can
get ingredients.
Hay supplies are moderate to heavy for the time of year, and demand is
moderate to light.
