Compared to last week, trade activity and demand moderate. According
to the U.S Drought Monitor’s High Plains Summary released January 21,
2020, very little to no precipitation occurred across large parts of the
western High Plains from Colorado to the Dakotas. D0 was trimmed in parts
of southern Nebraska and adjacent Kansas. But D0 expanded in northeast
Colorado into adjacent Nebraska, and a spot of D0 was added in north
central Wyoming. Dry conditions were evident in northeast Colorado in
many indices, especially SPI, SPEI, soil moisture, and groundwater
indicators, and most notably at the 4-month time scale. Temperatures have
been warmer than normal in this area, December was drier than normal, and
very little precipitation has fallen in January. An area to watch is
southeast Colorado, where reports note that winter wheat is suffering and
soils are very dry, and evaporative demand (as measured by the EDDI
[Evaporative Drought Demand Index]) is high, indicating the occurrence of
warm temperatures, low humidity, and higher winds. According to the USDA
NRCS Colorado SNOTEL Snow/Precipitation Update Report for Thursday,
January 23, 2020, snow water equivalent basin index percentages:
Gunnison 107; Upper Colorado 110; South Platte 114; Laramie and North
Platte 107; Yampa and White 114; Arkansas 113; Upper Rio Grande 114; San
Miguel, Delores, Animas and San Juan 113. The next available report will
be Thursday, January 30, 2020. All prices reported are FOB at the stack
