Texas Hay Report, Feb. 21, 2020

Source: USDA | Feb. 21, 2020

Hay trades are steady. Hay demand is moderate at best, with most producers feeding less than in years past due to mild winter weather. North, Central, and East Texas continue to deal with mud which has slowed fieldwork. Cooler temperatures and flurries moved across the Panhandle midweek, but very little moisture accompanied this system. West and South Texas are still very dry. According to the Texas Crop and Weather report, rainfall in South Texas has been below average since November.

The Texas Department of Agriculture has a Hay Hotline set up for buyers and sellers looking for hay or grazing; the number is 1-512-787-9966.
