Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 7,068/4,638 Last week: 8,771/4,978 Last year: 12,063/4,930
Hay market trade activity is light to moderate. Prices remain steady and demand
has been moderate, with an increase in out-of-state inquires. Hay supplies are
getting tighter for alfalfa and grass but still an abundance of feed hay, if you
can plow through the mud to get to it. The state received snow again over the
weekend, anywhere from 1-9 inches, compounding to the problem of moving hay. If
you have hay for sale, and/or need hay here in Kansas, use the services of the
