Prevent Plant forage effect on hay markets

Going to be winners and losers with the change of rules on PP acres that now can be harvested Sept 1.

Alot of acres will be planted to annual forages here to make med to low quality hay or silage.

Good for the guy that needs feed esp sense hay was in short supply.

Bad for hay guys that produce hay to sell.

 

I'd say this will swing the hay market $100 a ton this winter.

 

I know alot of guys that produce 500 ton of grass and mixed hay for feedlots,dairy hfr backgrounders and stock cows.

 

500 ton X $100 = $50,000

 

I know a guy that  is close to 5000 ton a yr = $500,000 OUCH
