======================================================================
Special Note:
Note- this report is now released twice a month.
Compared to last week new crop alfalfa sold steady on a thin test.
Old crop alfalfa going to grinding sold 10.00 lower.
Old crop grass hay and ground and delivered products steady.
Dehy and sun-cured pellets steady.
Early reports on first cutting alfalfa off from a typical year.
Some contacts thinking around 30 percent less.
Dryness, weevil, cool weather along with hail has really influenced the
tonnage in several fields.
If the producer applied water and sprayed for weevil tonnage nearly spot
on for a normal year's production.
Some spotty rain showers in various areas of the state.
Drought monitor not as severe as previous weeks but very hot and windy
conditions are on the horizon and it would take long for areas to deteriorate.
