Ground alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 10,231/3,444 Last week: 10,056/4,146 Last year: 9,507/4,316
Hay market trade activity is light. Prices steady and demand has slowed.
Fields have begun to dry out enough for famers to get in to plant wheat and
harvest corn and milo. There is still alfalfa and feed hay yet to be swathed
and baled. Looks like many will have a fourth cutting of alfalfa and some areas
may get a fifth cutting, if it stays dry. According to the U.S. Drought
Monitor, the abnormally dry (D0) category is at 6 pct, moderate drought (D1) is
at 5.5 pct, severe drought (D2) is at 4.5 pct, extreme drought (D3) is at 4 pct
and exceptional drought (D4) is at .40 pct. If you have hay for sale, and/or
