YARD REPORT\nSouthwest: The average paid by feedlots on June 1 for alfalfa 
ground and delivered was $164.17, up $16.69 from the previous month.
Usage was 529T/day, up 1.5 % from last month and total usage was 
16,385T.\nSouth 
Central: The average paid by feedlots on June 1 for alfalfa ground and 
delivered was $149.07, up $2.39 from the previous month.
Usage was 132T/day, down 23% from last month and total usage was 4,077T.
 
This past week, demand was light, trade was moderate, and prices were 
mostly steady.
Showers continue to put a "damper" on hay harvest as well as wheat harvest 
and the planting of milo.
Many areas have reported that their 2nd cutting of alfalfa will end up 
being grinding quality hay due to the delay in getting it put up dry 
while others report the alfalfa was put up after bloom stage.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor for the week of June 24th, in Nebraska and Kansas, scattered 
heavy rains fell in parts of both states, especially in central 
and eastern areas, leading to localized improvements to ongoing drought 
and abnormal dryness.
The categorical percent area of abnormally dry conditions (D0) decreased 
to 22%, Moderate drought (D1) increased to 9.5%, Severe drought (D2) 
stayed at near 1%, and no Extreme drought (D3) or Exceptional drought 
(D4) was recorded.
