Compared to the last report: Trade activity moderate with steady demand.
Good demand on retail hay.
Moderate demand on Dairy.
According to the US Drought Monitor, widespread heavy precipitation
fell this week in California, southern Nevada, the Pacific Northwest and
northern Idaho and northwest Montana.
Locally over 5 inches of precipitation fell in northwest Washington,
spots in northwest Montana and northern Idaho, and across scattered parts
of California, especially in some coastal regions and the Sierra Nevad.
Soil moisture levels increased across California amid the heavy precipitation.
Precipitation deficits lessened in many areas or were entirely removed,
leading to widespread 1-category improvements in California and localized
2-category improvements near Los Angeles.
As the impact of this precipitation on the water cycle in California
and Nevada is evaluated in the coming weeks, further improvements may
occur.
The next available hay report will be December 05, 2025.
