======================================================================
Special Note:
Report released every other week.
Compared to last two weeks ago, all reported forages sold steady to a
little weak.
Demand was light at best.
Recent rains across the state have halted demand for old and new crop
hay and the prices feel like it could slip downward a tick.
The US drought monitor still has most of the state from abnormally dry
to moderate drought.
Some areas of the state have had over 20 inches of rain since Memorial
Day weekend, and the soil profile is still dry.
If the rain shuts off during the dog days of summer, it won't take long
for forages to turn brown and tonnage to fall off substantially.
That may increase the demand for hay down the road.
Have a Happy 4th of July!
