======================================================================
Compared to last week all reported hay sales were steady.
Demand remains good for ground and delivered products and for bales of forages.
Very light supply of new crop alfalfa on the ground in the eastern part
of the state.
What has been cut is going as green chop to dairies.
Most contacts think they will start on first cutting next week after
Memorial Day.
Some talk on price of new crop alfalfa with nothing set in stone.
There is very limited carry over hay with some loads continuing to get
shipped in from South Dakota and Minnesota.
Rains need to continue across the state to have an average year of hay
production on non-irrigated crop ground.
