Compared to two weeks ago, reported hay sales sold steady.
Buyer inquiry and demand has picked up in the last two weeks.
Some hay going to ranchers that have lost winter grazing due to recent fires.
Quite a lot of the large square bales and some small squares going to
buyers from the out of state.
With a few loads almost to the East coast.
Some producers are finishing third cutting in the East and finishing
second cutting in the West.
Producers are wanting to lay down another cutting of alfalfa and will
after the weekend rain showers pass through.
There may be some snow at higher elevations.
Some are drilling rye or wheat this week before the expected moisture arrives.
Most of the state is relatively dry but some areas are getting some moisture.
