======================================================================
Special Note:
** Reminder this is now a Biweekly report**.
Compared to last week hay sales sold steady.
Demand was mostly light.
Some producers in the Eastern side of the state lost all their first
cutting of alfalfa to large hail and wind.
With others having some damage from storms.
Other reports of the dreaded weevil doing quite a lot of damage along
with irrigation districts curtailing water amounts early in the growing
season will cost producers quite a few tons of product.
Some reports in the east that tonnage is about 30 percent less than
a normal year because of several influencers noted on this report.
Producers in the central and west are just getting started with first
cutting and so far, think tonnage will be close to a normal year.
Little carry over from previous year, but nothing like the tonnage that
hay producers dealt with on the 2024 production year.
