****HAPPY NEW YEAR****
Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 8,771/4,978 Last week: 11,090/4,937 Last year: 11,239/4,582
Hay market trade activity is slow. Prices are steady and demand has been light
to moderate, not surprising during the holidays. The sunny skies and mild
temperatures over the weekend was a welcome relief from the rain, snow and
freezing cold temperatures we experienced over the last couple weeks. Mud
continues to be a primary aggravation for most farmers. According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor, the abnormally dry (D0) category in southern Kansas was
eliminated due to moderate precipitation there. If you have hay for sale, and/or
