Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 8,498/5,083 Last week: 7,050/5,132 Last year: 7,767/5,533
Hay market trade slow and demand light, prices remain fairly steady but with
an undertone of strength. A few more trades and inquiries were reported and
likely due to the pressure of the worsening drought. The abnormal heat, low
humidity, and gusty winds has exacerbated the lack of precipitation. Good
news however, many areas welcomed rain over the weekend and were thankful to
receive it, but is it too little, too late? According to the U.S. Drought
Monitor, abnormal dryness (D0) increased to 33 pct, moderate drought (D1)
increased to 22 pct, severe drought (D2) decreased to 8 pct and extreme
drought (D3) increased to 5 pct. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay
