| Is hit or miss. Personally, I've got plenty of hay as do most in my immediate area. The rainy spring made it very difficult to get first cutting put up and it was all too mature. I think every field of alfalfa is on the ground now for second cutting, about a month late but the maturity is right.
There was a lot of winterkill in northern, northeast Iowa. I see a LOT more waterways and ditches mowed and baled than ever before. Anyone with an extra half-acre of grass seems to have cut and baled it. They are all going to get rich with $200/ton grass, yeah, right. I think overall, hay will be short in the larger area. Corn pays better than alfalfa again, so less alfalfa again and more corn.
Maybe Cliff-SEIA will chime in about SE/southern Iowa.
