Missouri Direct Hay Report
Released on April 02, 2026
March weather ended just as chaotic as it began.
Records were set for both highs and lows, but when all was said and done
the month averaged just a bit more than 7 degrees above normal.
The warm weather got a few planters rolling prior to the rains this week.
Fertilizer has been spread over many fields which has come at a very
high cost unless producers pre-bought this year.
Many Alfalfa producers have had to spray for weevils once and some thinking
a second application may be required before first cutting.
With the early growth it won't be long before wrappers come out and some
baleage is being made.
Hay supplies are moderate, and demand is moderate to light.
Hay prices are steady to weak for the more common quality hay, higher
end hay remains fully steady.
