Improved weather leading to increased hay production brought about a 35{0a3336b3da8cf935de4f3eb78fe29508c4b8b5ebd27d01af2d815614325d533e} rise in the amount of hay stored on farms this year over last year’s figure. All hay stocks estimated for 2014 should hold at 19.1 million tons, up from 14.1 million tons noted May 1 of last year.
Even so, that’s the third lowest May 1 stock level since 1989, according to USDA in its May Crop Production report.
Hay use between Dec. 1, 2013, and May 1 of this year totaled 70.1 million tons, compared with 62.4 million tons for the same period a year earlier.
