Missouri Regional Fescue Seed Prices – Week ending 07/7/11

Fescue seed harvest for this season is pretty much in the books now 
several stations have closed for the year. Total harvest yield was very 
low this year. Several factors from short hay supply, acres lost to other 
grains, high fertilizer cost as well as several others all made for a 
disappointing harvest. Prices for seed are steady and this will be the 
last report for this season.
