======================================================================
Compared to the last report, demand had picked up throughout the state
and most of Eastern Oregon and Lake County says their phones are ringing
and they are selling more hay than they have the last few months,
a few more producers have sold out this past week.
Klamath Basin doesn't have the high demand that the other areas in Oregon
have seen and they are saying movement has been slow in the basin.
A lot of producers are selling out of hay and small bale producers are
keeping just enough hay to keep their regular horse customers supplied.
Some are worried about the light snowpack and wondering what that is
going to do to this years hay crop.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor, moderate to severe drought indicated in northeast Oregon,
in Southwest Oregon there is moderately dry soil moisture where
the rest of Oregon is being labelled as having abnormally dry to no drought
indication.
According to the NRCS, Oregon snowpack is: Willamette,
Rogue Umpqua ranges are 25%-27% of median, Klamath region is 21%
of median, Lake County region is 34% of median, Upper Deschutes Crooke.
