======================================================================
Compared to last week: Hay sold generally steady.
Some insurance loads of hay continue to sell as drought conditions worsen
in some locations, especially in the western portion of the state.
Much needed moisture fell in many locations across the eastern and southern
portion of the state and grass has greened significantly.
Demand for hay remains light as lighter cow numbers and mild weather
have curbed usage.
Hay supplies of feeder quality hay remain heavy.
Producers remain willing to carry over hay as snowfall has been light
this winter and many still have drought and irrigation water concerns
going forward.
The best demand for feeder quality (utility and fair) hay remains around
$130.00-150.00/ton delivered.
Demand for straw is light as heavy straw supplies continue to be seen
especially in the northern portion of the state.
According to the drought monitor 35.40% of the state is in Moderate drought
or worse, down 5.02% from last week.
12.69% of the state is in an Severe drought or worse, down 0.52% from
