======================================================================
This past week, demand was light, but trade bumped up a bit.
Prices were mixed.
Producers state there was a bit more interest in purchasing hay last
week but still had difficulty coming to an agreement on price.
Many also reported that they had sold out of hay or had sold all they
are going to for the year, with the anticipated dry summer approaching.
Drought is taking its toll on the plants with reports of alfalfa and
wheat stands going backwards.
Pivots have already been fired in many areas out west for a while now.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor for the week of April 15th, across the High Plains, ongoing
drought or abnormal dryness mostly stayed the same or worsened
after dry weather occurred across the region and warmer-than-normal
temperatures
overspread the Great Plains and central Rocky Mountains.
Moderate drought expanded in western and east-central Kansas this week,
where streamflow and soil moisture dropped amid growing precipitation
deficits.
The categorical percent area of abnormally dry conditions (D0) fell
to 18%, Moderate drought (D1) increased to 63%, Severe drought (D2) remained
steady at 2%, and no Extreme drought (D3) or Exceptional drought
(D4) was recorded.
