Hay market trade activity and demand remains slow to moderate while prices
remain steady. The second "bomb cyclone" of the year, only slightly affected
Kansas and gave way, quickly, to a nice warm up over the weekend. Higher
temperatures and windy conditions are helping to dry out fields, enabling
farmers to do some much-needed field work. Alfalfa and grass fields are greening
up nicely and you can almost see them grow. If you have hay, feed stuffs,
fencing materials, equipment, etc. that you are willing to donate to the
Nebraska flood victims, please contact the Nebraska Department of Agriculture at
1-800-831-0550. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay here in
Kansas, use the services of the Internet Hay Exchange:
