Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 8,143/4,545 Last week: 8,184/4,976 Last year: 7,483/3,305
Hay market trade activity and demand remains very slow, while prices remain
generally steady with a slight softening to old crop grinder hay. Folks took
advantage of the warm and dry weather last week, with those who could get into
the field spraying, planting, cutting or baling. Of course, nothing lasts
forever and sever weather marched across the state over the weekend and is
forecast to continue into the rest of the week. Talk of new crop pricing was a
hot topic this last week but very few new sales are being reported. Everyone
expects prices to be lower but until the hay is cut and put up in the barn dry,
no one really wants to commit to price. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or
need hay here in Kansas, use the services of the Internet Hay Exchange:
