Texas Direct Hay Report
Released on April 05, 2024
Compared to the last report: Hay prices are mostly steady to weak on
old crop hay.
Trading activity was moderate on moderate demand.
Hay prices are moving lower across most of the regions as first cutting
is approximately a month away, so producers are looking to move old
crop stock piles.
High winds moved across most of the state last week and some spotty
rain showers were reported in the North, Central, and Southeast regions.
Spring field prep is underway in most regions.
Pasture and rangeland conditions are mixed, with spotty moisture and
warmer temperatures helping boost spring growth.
The winter wheat crop in the Panhandle finally got some good moisture
late, which has spurred some late season growth.
***Due to limited
sales and price changes this report will be released bi-weekly until
more volumes of hay is moving.***
*** The next report release will be
April19th, 2024**.
