Missouri Direct Hay Report
Released on October 16, 2025
Even with some recent showers 98.5 percent of the state is in some stage
of drought, with a few areas in the southwest moving into D3 or extreme
drought.
From the road conditions may not look that bad, fall pastures may not
be tall but there has been just enough rain in most of the state to make
them green and give a little fall growth which has been very welcome.
Subsoil moisture levels however are very low and need some recharging.
The minor rains have not caused hardly any delays with grain harvest
and sure no fighting fields of mud.
Hay movement has been moderate as some livestock owners have looked to
pick up a little more hay, due to early feeding or concerns of short
pastures as the growing season ends.
Even with the extra activity there is a lot of lower quality hay in the
state and prices on that type is steady to weak, true top- quality
hay is steady to firm.
Supplies are moderate to heavy, and demand is moderate.
