======================================================================

Compared to the last report, demand remains low for all hay and prices 
are soft for all regions.
Warm, windy and dry conditions, in the western two-thirds of the state, 
continues to affect, both the wheat crop and alfalfa crop, which are 
going backwards.
There still is not much interest in purchasing old crop grinder hay 
let alone new crop, as most buyers are still working through what's left 
of last year's inventory.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor for April 16th, the southern High Plains are in the grips 
of rapidly drying conditions, leading to degradations across Kansas, 
with conditions bleeding into eastern Colorado and southern Nebraska.
Western Kansas has not seen precipitation in over two weeks, providing 
no relief to the rapidly drying soils and low streamflows.
Conditions in Kansas into Oklahoma are seeing rapid deterioration and 
short-term dryness indicating flash drought conditions.
The categorical percent area for abnormally dry conditions (D0) decreased 
to 44%, moderate drought (D1) increased to near 46%, severe drought 
(D2) increased to 7%, and no extreme drought (D3) or exceptional drought 
(D4) was recorded.
