Texas weekly hay report, 3-27-20

Source: USDA Market News | March 27, 2020

Compared to last week, hay trades are steady in all regions. Cattle and grain markets showed some signs of life this week, but hay is still being traded on an as needed basis. Many producers are purchasing just enough to make it to spring and summer grazing.

South Texas finally received spotty rain showers across the region. It wasn’t enough to change much on the drought monitor but did offer some hope. Hay demand in South Texas remains very good with prices staying firm as the regions
continues to deal with shortening hay supplies. North, Central, and East Texas have received ample amounts of rain which has limited fieldwork in those regions.

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.
