Special Note:
***Beginning 6/19/25, this report will be published biweekly.
Any questions or concerns can be emailed to mymarketnews@usda.gov.***.
Compared to last report: Trade activity and demand light.
No market trend available due to a lack of comparable trades.
Thunderstorms across the state have delayed 1st cutting in many areas
and made it difficult to put up 1st cutting hay.
The U.S.
drought monitor has the state at 59.57% D0-D4 category versus 37.76%
D0-D4 category from this period last year.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor's High Plains Drought Summary for June 17, 2025, rain-related
drought improvement dominated the High Plains, although some
significant drought-related agricultural problems persisted.
By June 15, statewide topsoil moisture ratings on the High Plains ranged
from 19% very short to short in Kansas to 50% in Wyoming, according
to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
Wyoming led the region on that date with 36% of its rangeland and pastures
rated in very poor to poor condition, followed by Nebraska at 30%.
Elsewhere, significant rain bypassed a few areas, including northeastern
North Dakota, where moderate drought (D1) expanded.
The next available report will be Thursday, July 3, 2025.
