Kansas Hay Market Report

**DUE TO THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY, THE NEXT REPORT WILL BE ISSUED SEPTMEBER 10TH**

Hay market trade was slow to moderate, demand was moderate, and prices remained 
steady.  Areas in southwest Kansas remained hot and dry last week, while the 
east and southeast part of the state continued to see rain.  The landscape in 
the east is unusually green for this time of year, especially in the Flint 
Hills, but there is still prairie hay to bale and the rain makes that difficult.  
According to the U.S. drought monitor, the abnormally dry category remained 
unchanged at 23 pct while moderate drought was at 1.42 pct.  If you have any 
extra hay to sell and/or need hay here in Kansas, use the services of the 
Internet Hay Exchange: www.hayexchange.com/ks.php.
