USDA Texas Hay 03/20 10:55
AMS_2707
Texas Direct Hay Report
Released on March 20, 2026
Compared to the last report: Hay prices remain steady with good demand.
According to the US Drought Monitor, parts of east Texas, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee benefitted from localized rains of
at least 2 inches.
Elsewhere, deep south Texas, western Texas, and northern and western
Oklahoma were mostly dry this week.
Temperatures across the region were warmer than normal, with readings
varying widely from a degree or two above normal to 9-12 degrees above
normal.
Soil moisture levels improved and precipitation shortfalls lessened in
parts of east-central Texas, Louisiana and southeast Arkansas, leading
to localized improvements to drought conditions in these areas.
Heavy rain in Dallas improved local conditions.
Warm, dry and windy conditions were the rule elsewhere in the southern
Great Plains and deep south Texas, leading to localized degradations
in central and northern Texas, deep south Texas, south-central and northwest
Oklahoma, and the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles.
Due to the continuing drought, producers may be eligible for transportation
losses under the ELAP assistance.
Contact your local FSA office.
The next available hay report will be April 03, 2026.
