USDA Texas Hay 05/30 12:30
AMS_2707
Texas Direct Hay Report
Released on May 30, 2025
Compared to the last report: Hay prices are mostly steady across all
regions with moderate to light demand.
According to the US Drought Monitor, heavy rainfall (2 inches or more)
prompted a 1-category improvement to ongoing drought areas of south-central
and southeastern Texas.
Despite this recent heavy rainfall, levels in the long-term monitoring
wells of Bexar and Medina Counties remain at all-time lows.
In addition, many of the 28-day average USGS streamflows are below the
5th percentile, supporting the D3-D4 depiction.
Since the SPIs dating back 6 months are neutral and considering the major
impact is hydrological, the drought impact was changed to long-term
only.
With drought improvement for northwestern Oklahoma this past week, nearly
all of Oklahoma and northern to eastern Texas are drought-free.
