For the last 30 days or so, semi's loaded with hay of any kind have been rolling south at a fast and furious pace. New crop, old crop, it doesn't matter.
I heard the local feedlot is buying new crop alfalfa, delivered, and they are paying $100/ton for grinding quality. Last fall I couldn't give my prairie hay away at $50/ton. The feedlot contacted me in late March and wanted to buy my hay and would pay $65/ton, so they got it and I was happy to sell it. My hayground is only 3 miles from the feedyard, so they saw it sitting there everyday.
If prices are that good for alfalfa now, what do you reckon they'll be by late fall or in the spring?
