Hay market trade was slow, demand was slow, and prices remain steady. Reports of
harvest wrapping up are starting to roll in, but the majority of producers are
still busy in the fields. Most areas received a taste of winter weather last
week, but snow fall totals were minimal. Supplies of high quality hay are being
reported as short, but here seems to be plenty of grinder hay. If you have any
extra hay to sell and/or need hay here in Kansas, use the services of the
Internet Hay Exchange: www.hayexchange.com/ks.php.
