USDA AMS released a weekly hay auction bundle dated Nov. 11, 2026, with weighted-average results from sale barns in Arthur (Illinois), Pipestone (Minnesota) and Shipshewana (Indiana).
At Arthur, light volume of 161 bales was offered, small-square hay sold 1.00 to 4.75 higher, and alfalfa premium in small squares averaged 7.64.
Routine weekly auction data showing modest hay price moves in the US Midwest; limited volume and firm demand give a small signal on local forage costs for livestock feeders.
