Missouri Direct Hay Report
Released on June 26, 2025
Special Note:
Beginning 6/19/25, this report will be published biweekly.
Any questions or concerns can be emailed to mymarketnews@usda.gov.
This week's drought monitor shows conditions basically unchanged from
last week with near twenty percent of the state either abnormally to
moderately dry, those numbers however are likely outdated as several counties
in the northwest and north central areas of the state received
several inches of rain early this week.
This was however after the report cutoff time so will not be reflected
until next week's report.
Fields around the state have been very busy the last two-weeks, Wheat
harvest and fescue seed harvest have combines back to getting use.
Hay harvest is in full swing as well, it has been a slow start for much
of the state due to excessive moisture.
As of the latest crop progress report hay excluding alfalfa is at 57
percent complete, that compares to 71 percent at this time last year and
66 percent for the five-year average.
Alfalfa cuttings are slightly behind but much closer to normal pace at
this point.
Pasture conditions in the state remain some of the best in the nation,
and although the sun and growing degrees have been much appreciated,
the extreme heat is likely to result in some decline of conditions if
the heat persist too long.
Hay prices are steady.
The supply of hay is moderate, and demand is light to moderate.
