Hay market trade activity is slow. Prices steady, demand light. Fields are finally
starting to dry up enough for farmers to get back into the fields to finish harvest. Hay
deliveries that have been slow due to damp conditions should pick back up with the drying
conditions. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, after recent improvements to the
region's lingering drought areas, conditions were unchanged during the past week. The
abnormally dry (D0) category is at 7 pct., and moderate drought (D1) is at 1 pct. If you
