DC_GR310 Manhattan, KS Tue September 10, 2019 Kansas Department of Agriculture Kansas Hay Market Report ***** NEVER FORGET - IN HONOR OF SEPTEMBER 11TH ***** Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement: Southwest/South Central Tonnage: 8,448/6,260 Last week: No Report Last year: 10,056/4,146 Hay market trade was slow to moderate, demand was moderate, and prices remained steady, on limited test. Most hay and forage pricing remains steady, although there is a softer undertone to grinder hay and grass hays due to lower quality and high abundance. Now that it has dried out a bit, grass hay producers are franticly putting up the last of the prairie hay while alfalfa producers are finishing 3rd cutting and many are well into their fourth. Hay season is rapidly coming to a close as thoughts turn to the fall harvest. Although the corn and beans still need that summer sun, there has been some corn chopping and harvesting going on.
