instances of 5.00 lower and light demand.
Gordo hay reported at $65.00 - $70.00 for large squares in South Texas
(see below Grass hay 65-70/ bale).
Adequate to excellent supplies were reported in all regions.
According to the US Drought Monitor, For the long-term drought areas
designated in Texas, a round of heavy precipitation (more than 1.5 inches)
this past week resulted in 1-category improvements.
Based on the 120-day SPI and NASA SPoRT soil moisture, D0 was expanded
across southwestern Oklahoma with the addition of a small moderate drought
(D1) area.
30 to 60-day SPIs along with declining soil moisture supported an increasing
coverage of D0 across the Texas Panhandle and Edwards Plateau.
