Reporter comment USDA
As filedAlthough cool the weather was quite pleasant for early January in Southwest Missouri. A large crowd was on hand with many bringing trailers ready to buy ahead of the first possible major winter event of the season. The supply of hay offered was heavy and demand was good to very good with active bidding though out the day. Average bale weights were provided for each lot and approximately half of the offering was tested.
