Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 8,423/5,320 Last week: 11,706/5,117 Last year: 8,528/6,446
Hay market trade slow; Prices steady. Most producers report demand as light
with a few isolated increases in deliveries and that they have been busy
spraying for aphids and weevil. Conversations also revolved around how the
hay market is reacting to the slowdown of ethanol production. Warmer
temperatures are forecast this week and are anticipated to hit the 80's
before a cool down moves through by week's end. The U.S. Drought Monitor
indicated that abnormal dryness (D0) remained at 8 pct, moderate drought (D1)
remained at 4 pct, and severe drought (D2) remained at 2 pct. If you have any
