HERE IS YOUR KANSAS HAY MARKET REPORT FOR THE WEEK ENDING FEB 13th 

Hay market prices were mostly steady for alfalfa and steady for grass hay. Demand remains strong for alfalfa. Most of the state received some snow this past week and dangerously cold temperatures have made feeding quite the challenge. For those calving in this, you have my sympathy. Warmer temperatures are on the way be the end of the week and 25 to 30 degrees will feel like a heat wave. According to US Drought Monitor for the week of February 9th, no changes were made to the drought categories. Abnormal dryness (D0) remained at 19%, moderate drought (D1) remained at 23%, severe drought (D2) remained steady at 7%, and extreme drought (D3) remained at 10%. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay here in Kansas, use the services of the Internet Hay Exchange:www.hayexchange.com/ks.php.
