The USDA AMS published a weekly hay auction market data package dated November 11, 2026, covering weighted averages from three sale barns in Illinois, Minnesota and Indiana. At the Arthur Sale Barn in Illinois, hay volume was 161 bales, with small square-bale hay selling $1.00 to $4.75 higher on good demand.
Light hay supply and firm demand at regional auctions point to tight local forage supplies, which can support alfalfa and grass hay prices for dairy and beef feeders.
