Trade and demand moderate to good. This winter has been one of the wettest in 20 years, for some parts of the state, due to round after round of El Nino storms. The wet conditions are preventing farmers from getting into fields to start spring time work. The cold and stormy weather has also delayed forage growth in areas and caused many livestock producers to continue providing supplemental feed. Hay inventories continue to decrease, consequently hay is being shipped in from further distances, increasing freight costs and causing prices to remain firm. Small square bales and dairy quality hay remains in short supply and difficult to find. Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except where noted.
