======================================================================
This past week, demand was light to moderate in the southwest, but light
for all other regions.
Trade was lower by 2,400 tons and prices were mixed.
Overall, grinding alfalfa price fell in most regions, while ground and
delivered price rose.
New crop pricing is on everyone's mind but has not been officially reported
yet.
Although many areas received rain, the recent rain events were not drought
busters.
A possible hot dry summer will most likely be factored in, in determining
new crop pricing.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor for the week of April 29th, A fairly dry week led to
deterioration across southwestern Kansas, and southeastern Colorado.
Farther north and east, however, widespread heavy rains were noted in
several swaths of the Plains, leading to reductions in the intensity
and extent of dryness and drought.
Improvements were most widespread across central and northwestern Kansas.
Still, despite the improvement in many areas, 60-day precipitation totals
were under 25 percent of normal in southwestern Kansas and southeastern
Colorado, with less than half of normal reported in adjacent areas
plus parts of central Kansas.
The categorical percent area of abnormally dry conditions (D0) increased
to 43%, Moderate drought (D1) fell to 33%, Severe drought (D2) increased
to near 4%, and no Extreme drought (D3) or Exceptional drought
(D4) was recorded.
