Ground alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 9,475/6,002 Last week: 8,786/4,784 Last year: 8,877/3,886
Hay market trade activity is slow to moderate. Prices are generally steady and demand is
light to moderate. Grinding alfalfa prices were mixed across the state. Producers are
reporting a little bit better demand, but most conversations this last week have revolved
around the "mud". The lingering muddy conditions are making it difficult to move any type
of hay and continues to plague final harvest. There are still plenty of beans and corn
out there farmers are trying to get to. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, moderate to
heavy precipitation from the latest winter storm fell roughly from the western reaches of
the Dakotas to the northern half of Kansas. The precipitation allowed for the removal of
moderate drought in east-central Kansas. The abnormally dry (D0) category is at .61 pct.,
and moderate drought (D1) was eliminated. If you have hay for sale, and/or need hay here
