Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 7,357/5,604 Last week: 7,719/5,140 Last year: 7,883/4,582
Hay market trade activity remains slow, demand is slow but there has been
increasing inquiries from eastern states, while prices remain steady. Rains
continued off and on over a good portion of the state. Southeastern Kansas was
hit the hardest in the month of May, with total rain accumulation ranging
between 15 to 30 inches. Due to wet fields putting up hay has been at a virtual
standstill. With limited supplies of old crop hay on hand, farmers are eager to
fill their barns. Forecast currently calls for drier conditions, perhaps, next
week. A lot of good hay ground has been under water and so producers will need
to remain vigilant for flood debris. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or
need hay here in Kansas, use the services of the Internet Hay Exchange:
