Alfalfa hay is an excellent source of good quality protein and fiber. Alfalfa is a legume hay and is sometimes called “lucerne”. These hays are higher in protein and minerals and are more palatable than grass hays. Alfalfa in particular is high in energy and is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. When properly cured, alfalfa is the best of the legume hays from a nutrient standpoint. It has the most feed value of all the perennial pasture forages. Alfalfa is used as for horses, dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, chickens, turkeys and other farm animals.
The alfalfa hay market continues to play a critical role in supporting the livestock and dairy industries, particularly in regions with large-scale cattle and dairy operations. Demand remains steady due to its high nutritional value and essential role in animal feed rations. In areas affected by drought or water scarcity, alfalfa's production can fluctuate, which in turn influences pricing and availability. Export markets, especially to countries in Asia and the Middle East, also significantly shape domestic supply and price dynamics, as overseas buyers often pay premium prices for high-quality hay.
On the supply side, producers are navigating challenges related to input costs, water regulations, and shifting land use priorities. In regions where water is limited, farmers may be incentivized to switch from alfalfa to less water-intensive crops, tightening supply. Meanwhile, technological advancements in harvesting and storage have allowed some producers to improve hay quality and efficiency, creating a tiered market where premium hay commands significantly higher prices. Overall, the alfalfa hay market remains sensitive to environmental conditions, policy changes, and international trade, all of which continue to drive volatility and strategic decision-making for growers and buyers alike.
