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

This past week, demand was light, trade was moderate, and prices were 
steady, on limited test as producers have been busy in the fields.
Hot, muggy and humid weather seems to be the current trend, with the 
southwest continuing to receive rain.
This is great for corn but hard on the hay producer.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor for the week of July 8th, another round of heavy rainfall 
(1 to 2 inches, locally more) supported a 1-category improvement 
to parts of the Northern and Central Great Plains.
Eastern Kansas has missed out on the heavy rainfall recently and abnormal 
dryness (D0) was added to that part of the state.
The categorical percent area of abnormally dry conditions (D0) increased 
to nearly 25%, Moderate drought (D1) remained at 6%, Severe drought 
(D2) remained near 1%, and no Extreme drought (D3) or Exceptional drought 
(D4) was recorded.
The next available report will be Tuesday, July 29, 2025.
