*****HAPPY THANKSGIVING*****
Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 8,591/8,635 Last week: 9,760/9,414 Last year: 7,874/3,614
Hay market trade is slow to moderate, demand was slow to moderate, and prices
remain steady. Drought continues to plague the western regions of the state.
According to the US Drought Monitor, a new sliver of extreme drought (D3) was
added in southwestern Kansas, where several locations have reported less than
one-half inch of precipitation since September 1. Reported precipitation
values are less than 15% of normal. In the driest areas, winter wheat has
struggled to emerge and become established, with the recent cold wave being a
complicating factor. The Kansas Forage and Grassland Council is having their
annual conference on December 10 in Wichita. Visit their website at
www.ksfgc.org for more information and registration. 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.
