======================================================================
This past week, there had been no change in demand, but some lower prices
were reported.
Trade remains slow to moderate.
There is still plenty of hay to be put up and plenty of hay to be moved,
but the weather has thrown a wrench on many producers plans.
Grinding hay movement continues to be steady, while grass hay movement
is very slow.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor for the week of September 18th, in the High Plains region,
widespread rainfall overspread western Kansas, Nebraska, western
South Dakota and North Dakota during the past week, resulting in modest
reductions of abnormal dryness (D0) and moderate drought (D1) across
western Kansas and central Nebraska.
Drier conditions and warm temperatures prevailed across portions of eastern
Kansas and northeastern Nebraska.
In Kansas, the categorical percent area of abnormally dry conditions
(D0) stayed at slightly over 18%, Moderate drought (D1) increased to almost
5%, and no severe (D2), extreme (D3) or exceptional drought (D4)
was recorded, with 77% of the state experiencing no drought.
Prices below reflect the average price.
There could be prices higher and lower prices than those published.
