Mid‐ to Late‐ January 2012 Hay Price Update
These are hay prices paid at auction in the recent past weeks. Much of the price
information is obtained from USDA Hay Market News. Personal contacts of local
Iowa hay auctions secured price information for these market outlets. Auctions
were chosen to reflect prices across Iowa. Other nearby auctions may exist. No
endorsement of the listed auctions is intended.
The USDA Market News group uses the following hay classification designations
in their market price reports. Of all hay sold, 1% or less would be designated in
the supreme class. There is a general relationship between visual characteristics
and forage analyses. If possible, the following Hay test analyses ranges (on dry
matter basis) should be used to establish the appropriate quality designation.
When feeding livestock, sample all forage lots and use forage analysis information
for balancing livestock rations.

Internet‐based Hay Source possibilities:
The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), responded to droughtinduced
hay and pasture deficit conditions by its establishing a www
website ‐ Hay Net ‐ for producers to list information concerning the
need for hay or the availability of hay. The WWW link to this site is
listed below.
Using the USDA Hay Net page is not as user‐friendly as the earlier
version. If you want to see the listings 'for sale', In the center‐right
'box' on the page, select the line 'Access eHayNet Service'. That
will take you to the 2nd page where you must choose either: NEED
(hay ads) or HAVE (hay ads). Then a 'state' (the state where the
hay is listed,). The 'Select' button will then take you to the listings
for that state. Contacts and a limited description of hay available
or needed can be found. As with other 'hay list'‐type www sites, price
and details about sales transactions must be completed between
buyer and seller. Note: Not all lots listed for a state are located in
that state, approximately half are from other states and Canada
