Texas weekly hay report for March 13, 2020

Source: USDA Market News | March 13, 2020

Compared to last report, hay trades are steady in all regions. The Panhandle and Western regions of the state received measurable amounts of moisture over the weekend and early in the week. Warmer temperatures, coupled with additional rain in the forecast, has pastures greening up in both regions. North Texas got a break from rain this week, which allowed producers to sneak in some additional field work before storms are forecasted to return to the region next week. Hay demand in South Texas remains very good with prices staying firm as the regions continues to deal with drought-like conditions and shortening hay supplies.

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.
