Compared to last week, trade activity and demand moderate. According to the
U.S Drought Monitor’s High Plains Summary released August 6, 2019, it was a dry
week in and near existing areas of dryness and drought. Broad expansion of
abnormal dryness occurred across central and southern Kansas, where conditions
have deteriorated quickly as in Oklahoma and Texas. Much of central and south-
central Kansas received 0.5 inch or less of rainfall over the last 30 days. In
the rest of the region, D0 and D1 conditions generally persisted, with very
limited expansion brought into parts of northern North Dakota, east-central
Nebraska, and southeastern Colorado. According to the NASS Colorado Crop
Progress report for week ending August 4, 2019, stored feed supplies were rated
7 percent short, 85 percent adequate, and 8 percent surplus with 2nd cutting
alfalfa progress at 77 percent harvested and 3rd cutting at 11 percent
harvested. The next available report will be Thursday, August 15, 2019. All
