Hay market trade activity is light to moderate. Demand remains moderate to good
as supplies are generally light. Prices, however, remained steady for all hay
types. Mother Nature continues to tease us with the illusion that spring is on
its way, only to throw a blizzard at us once again. Areas in western and
central Kansas are reporting 3 to 11 inches of new snow. Although the eastern
side of the state was spared the snow, most received rain adding to the already
muddy roads, feed lots and fields. Inquires continue to come in daily, however
folks are hesitant to relinquish any extra hay until they feel we are closer to
green up. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay here in Kansas, use
the services of the Internet Hay Exchange: www.hayexchange.com/ks.php.
