======================================================================

Compared to last report: Trade activity and demand light.
No market trend available due to a lack of comparable trades.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor, heavier rain amounts fell in parts of south-central 
and northeast Colorado as well, though most of the heavier totals were 
in the 1-3 inch range.
Primarily dry weather occurred west of the Continental Divide in Colorado 
and Wyoming.
Temperatures across the region were mostly near normal to 2-4 degrees 
above normal, though parts of the eastern Dakotas were a few degrees 
cooler than normal.
In areas that received heavy rain, soil moisture and precipitation deficits 
were alleviated and widespread improvements to ongoing drought 
or abnormal dryness occurred, including a two-category improvement in 
central Nebraska where some of the week's heaviest rains fell.
Meanwhile, degradations occurred in northwest Colorado and western Wyoming, 
where soil moisture and streamflow deficits mounted amid growing 
precipitation deficits.
The next available report will be Thursday, July 17, 2025.
