Hay market trade slow and demand light. Alfalfa price firmed up a bit likely 
due to the pressure of the worsening drought. According to the U.S. Drought 
Monitor, there were some reduction in drought coverage in areas receiving the 
heaviest precipitation, most notably central Kansas where many areas received 
2-6 inches of rainfall. Abnormal dryness (D0) decreased to 31 pct, moderate 
drought (D1) decreased to 18 pct, severe drought (D2) decreased to 5 pct and 
extreme drought (D3) remained steady at 5 pct. If you have any extra hay to sell
