USDA Texas Hay 09/04 12:05
AMS_2707
Texas Direct Hay Report
Released on September 04, 2026
Compared to last report: Hay prices and demand remain steady.
According to the US Drought Monitor, widespread expansion or worsening
of ongoing drought or abnormal dryness occurred across the South, especially
in parts of Mississippi, Texas, eastern Oklahoma and portions
of Arkansas.
Heavier rains, locally over 2 inches, fell in southeast Louisiana and
southwest Mississippi.
Otherwise, weather conditions were mostly drier, with many areas receiving
less than a half inch of rainfall and some receiving none at all.
Temperatures were warmer than normal across most of the region, especially
in Oklahoma and the northern half of Texas, where temperatures were
6-10 degrees hotter than normal.
This continued a very hot August across much of Oklahoma.
Degradations in drought conditions were especially prevalent in southwestern
and northern Texas, deep south Texas, northern Mississippi and
eastern Oklahoma, as ongoing hot and dry weather worsened conditions
in areas already suffering a myriad of drought impacts.
Streamflow across much of central and western Oklahoma and northern
Texas was quite low, along with low soil moisture and intense short-term
precipitation deficits.
The next available hay report will be September 18, 2026.
