Hay market trade slow and demand light, although there were a few more trades
of both old crop and new crop hay reported this past week. Producers have
been busy in hay fields swathing and baling their first cutting and report
that most fields are 20%-50% lighter than last year. Although the second
cutting re-growth currently looks good, there are concerns around the
deepening drought in the western half of the state. According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor, warm and dry weather encapsulated the conditions across most
of the High Plains the past week. Temperatures 3 to 12 degrees above normal
were common in western Kansas, western Nebraska, and in eastern Colorado and
Wyoming. Despite the hot and dry conditions, abnormal dryness (D0) remained
steady at 23 pct, moderate drought (D1) held steady at 16 pct, severe drought
(D2) was steady at 9 pct and extreme drought (D3) was steady at 2.5 pct. If
you have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay here in Kansas, use the services of the
