Hay market trade slow to moderate; alfalfa prices remain steady. There still
seems to be lots of folks looking to sell both grass hay and grinding
alfalfa. Southwest Kansas received between 2-4" of snow last week and the
Drought Monitor indicated that abnormal dryness (D0) decreased slightly to 19
pct, moderate drought (D1) decreased to 4 pct, and severe drought (D2)
remained at 5 pct.
