Hay market trade remains slow; alfalfa prices remain mostly steady while grass
hay prices weaken. Current trades are mostly on previously contracted hay with
very few new sales reported. However, more hay moving on the roadways can be
seen across the state and out of state. Many conversations have revolved around
where this market will be going. Most agree the market should stay steady and
perhaps soften a bit the closer we get to spring; that is assuming that winter
weather does not decide to come in and sit on us for 3-4 weeks. According to the
U.S. Drought Monitor, abnormal dryness (D0) decreased slightly to 22 pct,
moderate drought (D1) decreased to 4 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
