Hay supplies remained extremely tight for winter feeding across Texas, according to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service experts. While supplies have improved, stocks still remained below pre-drought averages. The tight supplies and higher demand were leading to higher hay prices, according to an AgriLife Extension economist and Texas A&M economics professor. Dec. 1 hay stocks were the third lowest on record behind 2022 and 2012, respectively.
