======================================================================
Much of the state experienced warmer temperatures and increased sunshine
last week, providing a welcome improvement in conditions.
Interest in hay varied across regions, with some areas reporting increased
inquiries, though no notable changes in pricing or movement were
observed.
However, some parts of the state have seen an increase in grass hay movement,
as many producers burned through supplies during the recent cold
snap.
According to the US Drought Monitor for the week of January 29th, Most
of the High Plains Region was dry last week, with a amounts of a few
tenths to approaching one inch fell on much of central and eastern Kansas
and on scattered higher elevations in Colorado and Wyoming.
Otherwise, little or nothing fell.
The Region - outside the higher elevations - is climatologically cold
and dry, so precipitation deficits increase very slowly, and demand is
lower this time of year.
In Kansas, the categorical percent area of abnormally dry conditions
(D0) increased to almost 13%, Moderate drought (D1) stayed at 4%, and
there was no severe (D2), extreme (D3) or exceptional drought (D4) recorded,
with 83% of the state experiencing no drought.
Prices below reflect the average price.
There could be prices higher and lower prices than those published.
