In the hay market, demand remains good, prices remained mostly steady, trade activity was slow. The western half of the state remains in drought although areas surrounding western Kansas have all received some form of precipitation in the last several weeks. As the drought lingers, so do concerns for this year's alfalfa crop. For areas east folks are busy in the field preparing ground and applying fertilizer, which has thankfully come down in price this year.
