Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 11,706/5,117 Last week: 7,799/5,187 Last year: 8,528/6,446
Hay market trade slow; Prices steady. Most producers report demand as light
and movement slow. However, there have been a few reports of increased
inquiries and deliveries of alfalfa, directly attribute it to the lack of DDG
availability. Farmers in the west and central areas are busy in the field
planting, spraying, and fertilizing, while fieldwork is at a standstill
again, for those in the southeast region. Rain tracked across southeast
counties Monday night and Tuesday morning. The U.S. Drought Monitor indicated
that dry conditions continue to persist in the drought and abnormally dry
areas of eastern Colorado, western Kansas, and southwest Nebraska. Abnormal
dryness (D0) remained at 8 pct, moderate drought (D1) remained at 4 pct, and
severe drought (D2) remained at 2 pct. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or
