Rock Valley alfalfa is up 57% since February. Colorado timothy hit $483/ton this week. First cutting has started across the south, and the next 30 days will set summer pricing.
Most people will time this wrong because they're reacting to data instead of predicting what comes next.
Two weeks ago, HayWire called supply tightening based on cutting delays and regional weather patterns. This week, a contact at one of the Midwest's largest hay auctions confirmed it: "Market ain't stopping yet. Supply is tightening like you figured."
That's what separating signals from noise looks like.
A Colorado buyer who waited until May paid $483/ton for hay that cost $220/ton in March. On 50 tons, that's a $13,150 difference. HayWire Pro costs $168/year.
