Nationally the US is 7% lower year over year and 15% lower on the 10 year average. Regionally, it is even worse. Montana, SD, ND, WY are down 49.2%. Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas are down 12% year over year and 25% on the 10 year average.
Oklahoma is down 48% year over year but Texas is up 33% year over year. Texas still lags the 10 year average, being down 10.6%.
CA, WA, OR, and ID had May 1 hay stocks up 6.1% from last year, but down 15% from the 10 year average.
CO had hay stocks up 152.2% year over year and up 30.3% over the 10 year average. Nebraska had May 1 hay stocks up 25% year over year and 14.1% above the 2012-2021 average.

I'm thinking that adjusting for the higher costs of production and inflation, hay prices should rightfully be higher. This might be the year hay producers make some decent income.
