Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central
Tonnage: 6,004/4,471 Last week: 7,690/4,730 Last year: 7,217/4,101
Hay market trade slow and demand light. Reports have been received that the brakes
have been applied to the alfalfa market with usage down significantly. Many report
deliveries down by almost half. Most folks are finishing up 2nd cutting and some are
into their 3rd and, as with the first cutting, tonnage is down but quality is good. Hot
and dry weather continues to be the norm for the western half of the state, while
showers were intermittent in the eastern half. Abnormal dryness (D0) decreased to 33
pct, moderate drought (D1) increased to 25.5 pct, severe drought (D2) increased to 6
pct, extreme drought (D3) decreased to 2.5 pct, and exceptional drought (D4) was
removed due to some scattered/spotty rain showers. Join agriculture leaders from
across the state for the VIRTUAL Kansas Governor's Summit on Agricultural Growth.
Starting July 20, we will begin with our online breakout sessions using Zoom. More
information about the Summit, including a link to the registration site, can be found

Exchange: www.hayexchange.com/ks.php.
