Hay market trade, activity and demand is slow. The hot and dry weather has
everyone busy in the hay field baling hay. The slow start to the hay season,
due to the abundance of rain, has everyone scratching their heads and pricing
is all over the map. In general, there seems to be a softening of the market
for all types of hay. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay here
in Kansas, use the services of the Internet Hay Exchange:
