Hay Prices Hit Record High Amid Drought Shortfall
Agriculture Department economists report hay and forage supplies were cut by a drought-shortened 1976 harvest. Increased feeding due to dry pastures and cold weather drives hay prices up while oilseed meal costs rise after a poor soybean crop. Corn sorghum and barley profits lag as livestock feed grain output falls. Oats remain tight with few price improvements expected this year.
