Great Plains and intermoun- tain regions, and covering an area that contains a large percentage of beef cows. The long, cold winter has extended the carryover drought impacts with additional demands for hay and more pressure on stressed pastures and ranges. The May crop progress report contains the estimated hay stocks on farms as of May 1. The inventory of 14.2 million tons is the smallest since 2007 and smaller than any May 1 total in data back to 1973. Total hay stocks on May 1 for the U.S. are down 36 percent from the previous 10-year average. Reduced hay produc- tion due to drought the past two years and the extended winter demands this spring have Elk City police made 11 ar- rests from late Friday to early today.

Given current drought conditions and cold weather delays this spring, hay production is likely to be below normal again in 2013, thereby limiting the recovery of hay stocks this year. Last week's crop progress report also contained the first spring estimates of range and pasture conditions. The report confirms that many areas are beginning the growing season with significantly worse pas- ture and range conditions than last year. Regionally, the Great Plains has the worst conditions, with 57 percent in poor to very poor condition.
