Missouri Direct Hay Report
Released on September 18, 2025
Scattered rains fell in various areas of the state over the last few
days, locations and amounts varied greatly, with nothing widespread enough
to change the current situation of dryness.
Drought conditions have continued to worsen as heat came back into the
picture and moisture has not been a thing for most.
As of the latest Drought Monitor near 98 percent of the state is in some
form of drought now with the entirety of the Boothill in D3 or Extreme
status and just over 30 percent listed as D2 or Severe.
Hay feeding or supplementing of some kind has become fairly common in
the southern half of the state.
Luckly before rains quit in early Aug grass had been abundant, and producers
baled a lot of hay early.
Without some fall rains soon though it could make for an incredibly long
feeding season as first frost date isn't all that far away.
Hay movement has been slow to moderate there has been an uptick but with
many baling a lot of hay and having supplies on hand it hasn't anything
extreme at this point and there is currently a lot of hay offered
for sale without having to travel very far regardless of where in the
state one might be.
Hay prices are steady to firm, supplies are moderate to heavy, and demand
is light to moderate.
