Compared to the last report, Demand for hay in Idaho is slow, the quality
of hay is looking better than it was at the beginning of the season
but there doesn't seem to be a lot of buyers out looking for hay.
Some people are holding onto their hay waiting for better prices, which
have started showing up in some places around Idaho.
With the drought right now some ranchers have started to buy hay to get
ready to feed when their cows come off the mountain.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor Website, most of Idaho is under moderate to severe dry
soil moisture with spots of extreme dry soil moisture in the panhandle.
