California Hay Report

  Compared to last week: All classes traded steady with moderate demand.
According the U.S. Drought Monitor, Cooler than normal conditions dominated the
West, with precipitation over the coastal regions and into the Southwest.
Several improvements were made this week in response to not only recent
precipitation but also precipitation over the last several months.  In southern
California, severe drought was eliminated in the Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los
Angeles county region as the response from recent rains has improved long-term
impacts to groundwater. Improvements were also made in the Imperial Valley in
response to recent rains where abnormally dry, moderate drought and severe
drought were all improved. In Arizona, abnormally dry conditions were improved
over the eastern portion of the state as well as the central portion of the
state.  All hay is reported FOB the stack or barn unless otherwise noted. 
Regions are defined at bottom of report.
