Missouri Direct Hay Report
Released on May 14, 2026
Although not in full swing, several more producers are getting into the
hay fields now, especially in areas with less grain production.
Although Memorial Weekend is typically when haying gets really busy,
some late frost along with warmer than average weather has many of the
grasses maturing ahead of schedule.
Yields were affected by the cold snaps but still way better than some
surrounding states.
As of the latest report 80 percent of pastures in the state were rated
good to excellent, with 79 percent of the state drought free.
More hay is coming to the market this week as new crop arrives and still
some trying to clean out old crop.
Hay prices are steady.
Demand is light and supplies are moderate.
