Ground alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 7,880/3,765 Last week: 7,811/3,815 Last year: 10,558/4,147
Hay market trade activity is slow. Prices steady, demand light, on limited test.
The alfalfa hay market remains sluggish. Everyone seems to have their current
needs met or they are utilizing other feed stocks. There have been, however, a
few inquiries from out of state horse and beef cattle owners. Snow tracked
across the state toward the northeast, dropping anywhere from a trace to 5.0
inches of snow in some places. Heaviest amounts fell in areas that had the least
amount of rain over the summer. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor,
conditions were unchanged during the past week. The abnormally dry (D0) category
remains at 7 pct., and moderate drought (D1) remains at 1 pct. If you have hay
