The state-by-state update describes hay demand as good to very good in Colorado, with some premium hay prices higher, while Missouri hay prices were steady to firm amid persistent drought in the southern part of the state. Reports from other states noted moderate or light trade activity and generally unchanged prices for some hay types.
Drought in parts of Missouri can constrain forage availability and increase reliance on purchased hay, supporting local hay prices. The reported conditions are regional and hay is not among the listed commodities.
