Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 7,658/6,046 Last week: 7,748/5,976 Last year: 8,297/5,007
Hay market trade activity and demand remains very slow and prices remain steady.
Much of the hay moving is previously contracted or spot loads. Drier conditions
have prevailed in Kansas for the last several weeks and southwestern and south-
central producers are starting to say they could use a drink. A windy Easter
Sunday ushered in thunderstorms that marched across the eastern half of the
state in the wee hours of Monday morning. Little precipitation was received out
of the storms and appears to have missed the southwest all together. Total rain
received was anywhere from a trace to 1.5 inches. The drier weather, however,
has allowed folks to get field work done and spraying for pests has begun with
the arrival of aphids and weevils. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or need
hay here in Kansas, use the services of the Internet Hay Exchange:
