Missouri Direct Hay Report
Released on October 02, 2025
Pasture conditions across the state improved ever so slightly over the
last week, but it was a very minor amount.
Surprisingly there are a few producers finding a little something to
bale into fall hay after the rains from a couple of week ago.
Others however, are just hoping for enough fall growth to stop feeding
for a while before snow flies.
Fall grain harvest is running full speed and for many that is where attention
currently is focused.
Hay movement is moderate as early feeding has everyone paying close attention
to inventories on hand given the shortness of pasture and quickly
approaching average first frost date.
That being said at this time supplies aren't a major concern as producers
were able to bale a lot of hay earlier in the year and if they don't
feel they have enough it can still easily be found.
Hay prices are steady to firm.
