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

Compared to the last report, demand was moderate for alfalfa but remained 
light for grass hay.
Open weather, greening pastures and lower cattle numbers continue to 
contribute to the lower demand and lower prices.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor for March 12th, localized heavy rains from severe thunderstorms 
last week occurred in parts of central and southeast Kansas, 
leading to localized improvements to ongoing drought and abnormal dryn.
In south-central and southwest Kansas, abnormal dryness developed where 
dry weather from the past couple of months combined with warm and windy 
conditions.
The categorical percent area for abnormally dry conditions (D0) increased 
to 35%, moderate drought (D1) decreased near 25%, severe drought 
(D2) decreased to just under 2%, and no extreme drought (D3) or exceptional 
drought (D4) was recorded.
