Hay market trade activity is light to moderate. Demand remains moderate to
very good, especially for grinding alfalfa and good quality grass hay. Prices
remain generally steady. According to NASS, hay stocks on Kansas farms is
down 4 pct from a year earlier. This winter weather the state has been
experiencing is hard on livestock and last week's ice storms have made it
difficult on the farmers and ranchers who feed those animals, as they
continue to burn through feed supplies. If you have any extra hay to sell
