About this data
Prices come from USDA AMS Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News auction and direct-sale reports. We keep verified trades (excluding asking prices and weight-estimated per-bale conversions), aggregate by ISO week, and volume-weight by reported load count. Weeks with no observations are omitted, never interpolated. Source: USDA AMS Market News.
What is the average price of hay right now?
For the week of June 8, 2026, the HayWire national hay price index is $218 per ton (up 3.1% week over week), based on 181 USDA auction observations across 26 reporting markets. Observed prices ranged from $50 to $745 per ton depending on commodity, grade, and region.
Why do hay prices vary so much between regions?
Hay is bulky and expensive to haul relative to its value, so it trades in local markets rather than at one national price. Drought, freight, and local supply can push neighboring regions tens or hundreds of dollars per ton apart.
How often are hay prices updated?
Every Monday, after USDA Agricultural Marketing Service publishes the week's auction and direct-sale reports. The index, table, and chart on this page rebuild from that fresh data automatically.
What is the difference between free and Pro data?
All current and recent prices (about 12 weeks), the index chart, and the full market table are free and shown here. HayWire Pro unlocks full multi-year price-history downloads (CSV and Excel) and custom price alerts.
Where does HayWire's hay price data come from?
