Colorado Hay Report

   Compared to last week, trade activity and demand light.  According to the 
U.S. Drought Monitor’s High Plains summary for January 22, 2019, with an active 
storm pattern, much of the region recorded precipitation, with the greatest 
amounts over the plains of Colorado, North Dakota and South Dakota. Because of 
the pockets of dryness still over portions of eastern Colorado and the Dakotas’ 
mainly being long-term issues, no changes were made this week.  USDA NRCS
