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

Compared to the last report, demand slow to moderate for all hay and 
prices were mostly steady for all regions.
It was mostly an unremarkable week with folks trying to work the fields 
in windy conditions.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor for March 12th, some increases in the coverage of abnormal 
dryness (D0) were noted on the Plains from central and southwestern 
Kansas northward into parts of South Dakota.
Despite the Plains' pockets of dryness and drought, prospects for the 
winter wheat crop remained mostly favorable.
In Kansas, 55% of the winter wheat was rated in good to excellent condition 
on March 17, with only 12% of the crop rated very poor to poor, 
according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
The categorical percent area for abnormally dry conditions (D0) increased 
to 40%, moderate drought (D1) decreased to near 24%, severe drought 
(D2) remained just under 2%, and no extreme drought (D3) or exceptional 
drought (D4) was recorded.
