Texas Direct Hay Report
Released on August 22, 2025
Compared to the last report: Hay prices are mostly steady across all
regions with light to moderate demand.
In the South, Coastal large round premium bales were moving at $100-$120
while little to no movement on utility hay.
Adequate to excellent supplies were reported in all regions.
According to the US Drought Monitor, the South saw widespread drought
expansion over the week, despite scattered thunderstorms that brought
brief, localized relief.
Texas saw some improvements due to heavy rains and flooding in south-central
counties earlier in the month that continued to ease drought there.
Temperatures across the region stayed hot and humid, with heat index
values topping 100F in Texas and Oklahoma.
Fire danger also crept higher in Oklahoma and Texas, where persistent
heat and dry rangelands created favorable conditions for grassfires.
Abnormal dryness (D0) formed in the Panhandle and north-central Texas.
The next available hay report will be September 05, 2025.
