For what it is worth
New crop hay is no where to be found leftover supplies are selling at the highest prices of the year and the alfalfa stand is the worst in history, biggest kill off ever Dandelions are in 90% of the fields. stands are thin poor and the hay crisis is only getting worse and that is not taking into consideration all this wet weather , The cold weather has stunted growth of new crop hay pushing harvest back weeks, Some are gonna start chopping out of desperation . Hay prices are too high and if livestock farmers don’t see price improvement the liquidation will continue.
It’s time to put and end to this bullshit of making hay haulers to have oversized permits for not only state roads but county roads has well. Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nebraska, South and North Dakota, Kansas all make hay exempt for the need to have oversized permits. This is not a safety issue it’s a revenue issue , these permits do nothing more than hurt people who are trying to move feed around in order to put food on people plates. Send Iowa state senator Carrie Koelker an email carrie.koelker@legis.iowa.gov asking her to make hay exempt from oversizes load permits just like all of our surrounding states.
