The price of large squares of supreme-quality alfalfa hay in southwestern Colorado is $230 to $245 per ton, as listed in the Colorado Hay Report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service. In 2011, prices ranged from $160 to $170 per ton. Drought in the Southwest in 2012, drove hay prices higher, but hay buyers cannot afford to pay more than the present market prices, stated the officer in charge of USDA’s market news service.
