Texas Hay
Amarillo, TX — June 26 (F-S) Hay prices generally steady. Trade activity and demand varies from one area of the state to the other depending on recent rainfall and drought conditions. Horse and dairy quality hay is still in limited supply. Hay from outside states is being delivered into the Panhandle and Northern Texas regions causing downward pressure on the large square alfalfa market. This has caused demand to be light and trade to be slow in those regions. Drought conditions in Central, Eastern, and Southern Texas has affected yields, consequently inventories are low while demand for hay is increasing. Rising inputs have producers concerned about breakeven prices. A smaller amount of wheat hay is being reported in the market this week.
