Whether farmers and ranchers are dealing with severe drought in the Northern Plains and Western states or too much wetness in the Eastern Corn Belt, weather is wearing on the hay market and leading to a challenging price situation.
This week, we’re joined by DTN editor and reporter Russ Quinn to dig into the regional variations in the hay market, where prices and availability have been throughout the season, and what might change in the coming months.
We’ll also talk about pressures beyond feed prices on cow/calf operators, dairy farmers, and feedlot operators alike, and discuss where some of the nation’s finest hay is being put up.
