Compared to the last report, Demand for hay in Idaho is slow, there doesn't
seem to be a lot of buyers out looking for hay.
Producers are saying that no one is making offers on hay right now, and
the few offers we have seen have been lower priced than earlier in
the season.
Most of the buyers are ranchers buying hay for winter feed.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor Website, The panhandle is under extreme drought, Western
Idaho is under no dry soil moisture and the rest of Idaho is under
moderate to severe dry soil moisture.
