Kansas Hay Market Report

Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement:   Southwest/South Central 
Tonnage: 7,767/5,533 Last week: 8,945/6,622    Last year: 9,288/5,684
             
Hay market trade slowed last week, activity and demand is slow to moderate. 
Prices remained generally steady, however, we continue to see a downward 
trend in price for both old and new crop grinding alfalfa. Rain continues to 
hamper haying activities and the frustration is evident. Those that have been 
able to get alfalfa hay baled are averaging 2.0-3.0 tons per acre. If you 
have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay here in Kansas, use the services
