California Hay Report

  Compared to last week: All classes traded steady with moderate demand. 
According the U.S. Drought Monitor, in California, Pacific storms continue to
bring precipitation in the form of high elevation snow and valley rains to the
region. These moisture laden storms are crucial for summer water resources as
the runoff feeds into the streams and reservoirs. Forecasted stream flows for
California river basins generally show much above normal volumes through the
summer months.  All hay is reported FOB the stack or barn unless otherwise
noted.  Regions are defined at bottom of report.
