🌾 HayWire Weekly Issue #2 — March 2nd 2026
THE 30-SECOND VERSION: Midwest alfalfa is holding steady — good-quality large rounds are trading $105–$128/ton across MN, IA, and SD auction markets this week, with no major swings from last week. The story this issue is the spread: that same good alfalfa is going for $228/ton in Indiana and $405/ton (premium grass) in Pennsylvania. If you're in the Midwest, you're buying at a significant discount to the rest of the country. If you're selling and can move hay east, there's margin sitting on the table.
