What hay costs in Missouri
BaleWise tracks 65 hay sellers in Missouri — 59 with listed prices, verified July 27, 2026. Every price is normalized to true cost per US ton (2,000 lb) so a heavy bale and a light bale compare honestly.
Small square bales run $200–582 per US ton across 20 priced listings, with a midpoint of $267/ton. Sticker prices run $4.00–$16.00 per bale — bale weight is what moves the true cost. Round bales: $33–188/ton across 38 priced listings.
Fair-price verdicts below are judged against the Plains market midpoint — the same yardstick the live board uses. For distances from you, ZIP search, and price alerts, head to the full board.
