Hay market trade and demand remains slow, prices trended down just a little for
most hay types. An abundance of grinder hay and brome hay hitting the market has
caused a slowdown in interest from buyers. However, some buyers, both in and out
of state, seem willing to pay a little more for better quality hay and for
loyalty to those producers they have utilized for years. This could account for
some of the wide variations in recent price. The entire state could use a drink
and if not received within the next couple weeks could change the game
considerably. According to NASS, topsoil moisture supplies rated 8 percent very
short, 32 short, 58 adequate, and 2 surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies rated 3
percent very short, 20 short, 74 adequate, and 3 surplus. Join agriculture
leaders from across the state at the fourth annual Kansas Governor's Summit on
