======================================================================
Compared to the last report, alfalfa in the east sold mostly steady.
In the central alfalfa sold steady to 10.00 higher.
In the west sold steady to 20.00 higher on large square bales.
Sun cured alfalfa pellets in the east sold 10.00 higher and dehy pellets
in the Platte Valley sold steady.
Ground and delivered hay steady.
Interesting market this week as the west looks like its dollars a ton
higher than places in the central and east but as you ship hay to the
western side of the state from these areas the time it gets delivered
the hay market is very similar.
Some hay sellers said buyer inquiry has died down some in the last two
weeks as spotty rain showers are aiding in the growth of summer grass
pastures.
Also, rain will help the meadow grass tonnage as that harvest is just
around the corner after the Fourth of July.
Some feedlots or backgrounding lots are jumping in and trying to purchase
all their bank account will allow as others are just hand to mouth
in purchases.
Some irrigation districts in the panhandle have finally turned irrigation
water on and customers know they have limited inches of water this
season.
