Hay price rise puzzles ERS says winter feed demand may lift costs
Washington AP reports Agriculture Department economists are puzzled by rising hay prices despite a record hay crop. ERS cites high livestock feeding, cattle increases, and weather-impacted regions as factors. Wisconsin led production at 10.7 million tons, down due to wet and weevil damage. Mid November hay averaged 31 dollars per ton nationwide, higher than last year.

Government payments influence farm credit decisions
An Agriculture Department survey shows government payments, over 4 billion dollars this year and 1/5 of net farm income, shape bankers' lending opinions. Bankers say crop program participation may be a loan criterion, though traditional factors like repayment history, collateral, and loan purpose remain vital. The south central plains area surveyed notes interest rates around 8 to 9 percent, with best-risk borrowers paying about 7 1/4 percent and poor risks often at least 9 percent.
