Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central

Hay market trade activity is light to moderate. Demand remains moderate to
very good, especially for grinding alfalfa and good quality grass hay.
Despite the demand, prices have remained mostly steady overall but nudged
higher on grass hay. Inquiries have picked up for those who have hay to sell.
Both alfalfa and grass hay producers are receiving calls from surrounding
states looking for hay. It's no wonder, with the visit from the polar vortex
we just had. Kansas did not break any records, but it sure felt like we
should have. The plunging sub-zero temperatures and bitterly cold, double
digit, wind chills made feeding livestock un-pleasurable to say the least and
causing livestock producers to burn through feed supplies. If you have any
extra hay to sell and/or need hay here in Kansas, use the services of the
