======================================================================
Compared to the last report hay prices fully steady.
Demand was good.
Most hay producers have been getting a lot of calls from all over the
nation and are shipping quite a lot of hay out of state mostly in small
squares.
Some producers have been getting some irrigation water since the last
report but total feet will be a lot shorter than normal.
Spotty rain showers around the Powell area with daily reports of .10-.30
most days and it has been very hard to put-up top-quality hay in
some areas from these daily rain showers.
Tonnage was mostly light on the first cutting in most reporting areas.
