Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 9,273/6,986 Last week: 9,530/5,257 Last year: 7,064/4,784
Hay market trade is slow, demand was slow, and prices remain steady. Seems as if
Mother Nature is finally delivering winter weather to Kansas. Last Friday all
but a half a dozen counties were under a winter weather advisory as snow and
freezing rain spread across the state and a wintery mix of rain, sleet and snow
is again expected today through Thursday. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor,
no changes were made in the drought categories. Abnormal dryness (D0) remained
at 23 pct, moderate drought (D1) remained at 6 pct, and severe drought (D2)
remained at 4 pct. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay here in
Kansas, use the services of the Internet Hay Exchange:
