Missouri Direct Hay Report
Released on August 07, 2025
As of the latest drought monitor the entire state is now considered 100
percent drought free.
Significant improvement was noted for just about all the states in the
Midwest this week.
Rains, which if one was under specific clouds were excessive at times,
have been plentiful for July thus far has the state looking much more
like Mid-May rather than late July.
Pastures in the state continue to be some of the highest rated in the
nation and much better than those in neighboring states.
Once again this year a few farmers who were lucky enough to get started
early between spring rains are cutting grass hay for a second time
and if Fall goes well could likely get a third cutting if they choose
to keep baling.
This is very uncommon for grass hay in MO.
Extreme heat over the last week has made being out a bit less enjoyable,
especially if you had to spend the day on an open station tractor
but it has allowed for serval to get back to making hay as along as they
weren't under one of those previously mentioned storms that dropped
multiple inches of rain.
Hay movement has been slow, prices are steady to week, supplies are heavy,
and demand is light.
