Compared to the last report, movement has increased with some new crop
but mostly old crop sales.
The demand for new crop hay all over Oregon is slow.
New crop is getting cut and raked in Eastern Oregon and parts of Klamath
Basin, it has been quiet with buyers not making any offers right now
on new crop.
There isn't expected to be a lot of carryover in the state with most
producers moving their 2024 supply.
Producers are thinking movement will pick up in the next couple weeks
with hay starting to get tested and stored.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor, there is abnormally dry to moderately dry soil conditions
in Northern Oregon, the rest of the state has normal soil conditions.
