======================================================================
Demand light to moderate currently, best demand continues to come from
out of state interests.
High testing alfalfa hay is harder to find this year as the persistent
rain showers and high humidity kept hay from curing quickly.
Many dairies have chosen to chop and make haylage as dry hay has been
hard to make.
4th cutting of alfalfa was a little easier to put up as the rains became
less frequent.
Soybean harvest in full swing currently and corn drying down nicely
as the weather stays unseasonably warm.
