Texas Hay
Amarillo, TX — June 27 (F-S) Prices steady to firm. Demand moderate to good. Hay cutting and bailing is moving at a rapid pace with most producers in second and third cutting. Rain showers have been very scatted with some areas receiving amble rain while others remain rather dry. The quality and yields are not as anticipated due to continuing heat and high winds drying out fields. Most suppliers remain reluctant to contract hay beyond two or three months due to the ever rising cost of fuel and fertilizer. Producers have a desire to increase hay prices in response to continuing higher fuel and other production cost, but meeting resistance from customer base.
