======================================================================
Compared to the last report, Demand was good especially from out of state
buyers with hay going almost to the east coast.
Drought conditions and snow pack was on the minds of all contacts.
Some water shed districts have already said that they will limit days
of water this summer with some districts may not run at this time.
Unless, good Ole Mother Nature drops much needed snow or even some slow,
soaking rain showers this spring.
