Compared to last week: Alfalfa and grass hay fully steady.
Demand moderate overall, best demand is currently from dairies that
are in need of high testing alfalfa. The first cutting of alfalfa
this year was put up very nice, suitable for dairy hay. Second
cutting was very difficult to put up high quality hay. Heavy rains
fell after the hay was laid down and then the southeast wind blew
and brought up the high humidity. Dew points in the 70s kept the hay
wet and would not allow it to cure which resulted in poor quality hay.
All hay and straw sold by the ton FOB, unless otherwise noted.
Alfalfa: Supreme: Large Squares, 225.00. Premium: Large Squares,
180.00. Good: Large Squares, 135.00.
Alfalfa/Grass Mix: Good: Large Rounds, 125.00.
Grass: Premium: Small Squares, 5.00-5.50 per bale, 180.00-185.00
per ton; Large Rounds, Timothy 120.00.
Corn Stalks: Large Rounds, 45.00.
