The Mt Ag Price tool uses USDA Ag Marketing Service (AMS) data to show current and historical prices for Montana grains and hay. Users can compare those prices for seven regions in Montana, and for different categories (e.g. protein content, grade, etc.). Prices are charted for the time span selected, and can be downloaded as a .csv file as well. Other prices, such as livestock, will be added soon.
