If it doesn't start changing soon, there will be no Hay Season 2013 here.
We had no Hay Season 2012 either, but carryover from previous years let most producers squeak through winter. Everyone's hay corral is empty and any grass left over from previous years is gone now.
In the last 2 weeks, a couple neighbors have purchased some mediocre grass hay from 200 miles away for $165. Just to get to turnout time. Brandings going on most every day now, and still full feeding hay. Not looking good.
Other folks are running calves through and working them, but not branding in preparation for what is next.
