Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 7,423/7,232 Last week: 7,136/5,836 Last year: 7,880/3,765
Hay market trade was slow to moderate, demand was slow to moderate, and prices
remain steady. After a beautiful fall weekend with temps in the 60's and 70's,
Mother Nature reminded us on Monday that she is in control and winter is,
indeed, right around the corner. Much of the harvest has been completed and
reports coming in indicate it has been a "good" harvest over all, but nothing
exceptional. Hay producers report that there has been a little more interest
from buyers and a few more loads moving to the feed yards. Supplies of high-
quality hay remain short, but here seems to be plenty of grinder hay. 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.
