Compared to the last report, movement has increased due to some contracts
being made for new crop.
Demand for hay in Idaho is moderate but better than it has been the last
few weeks.
Most hay in Idaho is getting stacked right now and other hay is getting baled.
Quite a bit of hay all over Idaho got rained on after getting cut and
some has rain damage and other hay seems to still be premium quality
hay.
Producers are saying that some buyers are coming in right now offering
lower prices than they want but others have been fair.
Some farms have started the season by declining lower offers from buyers
and wanting better prices.
Hay movement in Idaho is starting to be moderate to active.
Some hay presses have been offering a dollar a point or lower at the
stack and some dairy's have been offering a dollar a point delivered up
to 190-200.
