💡 This Week's Insight

Missouri is the market to watch right now

Missouri alfalfa spiked sharply this week — a signal that Eastern buyers are reaching deeper into the Midwest for supply. Missouri typically moves 2–3 weeks before Iowa and South Dakota follow.

If you're buying: Rock Valley IA at $116/ton and Pipestone MN at $118/ton are still the best value in the Midwest — but the window may be narrowing.

If you're selling: Don't be in a hurry to discount. Upward pressure is building.
