Hay market trade activity is light to moderate. Demand remains moderate to
good as supplies are generally light, and prices have remained steady for all
hay types. Most deliveries are on previously sold contracts, when the weather
permits, but there are a few locations that still have hay to sell. Smaller
producers, however, are pretty much "sold out". The winter weather pattern
continues and, just like a broken record, Kansas saw a warm up last Friday
only to be thrown back into blizzard conditions Saturday and Sunday. On a
positive note, 15 days till its officially spring. 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.
