USDA-Texas "Weekly Hay Report"

With the excellent rain over the last 6 weeks, hay prospects in Lipan Country may be better than average. Here is the Texas Department of Agriculture Hay and Grazing Hotline website.

For North, Central and East Texas, the USDA-Texas Weekly Hay Report is:

Alfalfa: Premium to Supreme quality small squares 6.00-8.00 per bale FOB barn. Premium to Supreme quality large squares 160.00-170.00 delivered; Good quality large squares 140.00-160.00 delivered.

Coastal Bermuda: Small squares 5.00-6.00 per bale FOB barn. Large rounds 45.00-80.00 per roll FOB.

Wheat Hay: small squares 4.00 per bale FOB field. Large rounds 55.00 per roll FOB.

Also, I wonder if the Internet Hay Exchange, linked off the TDA Hay and Grazing Hotline website, is useful in terms of local buying & selling purposes.
