Colorado Hay Report

   Compared to last week, trade activity light on moderate demand.  According to 
the U.S. Drought Monitor’s High Plains summary for February 12, 2019, farther 
west, wet-season precipitation continued to outpace normal in most of central 
and western Colorado and adjacent southern Wyoming. Widespread above-normal 
mountain snowpack covers most areas. Conditions have now improved enough to 
finally remove the lingering D4 area in south-central Colorado and improve the 
northern fringes of the D3 and D2 areas in western Colorado.  USDA NRCS Colorado 
SNOTEL River Basin Index percentages for Thursday, February 14, 2019:  Gunnison 
111, Upper Colorado 113, South Platte 108, Laramie and North Platte 107, Yampa 
and White 109, Arkansas 118, Upper Rio Grande 98, and San Miguel, Dolores, 
Animas and San Juan 103.  The next available report will be Thursday, February 
21, 2019.  All prices reported are FOB at the stack or barn unless otherwise 
noted.  Prices reflect load lots of hay.  If you have hay for sale or need hay,
