Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparisons to the previous week is available sale was not reported the previous two weeks. With the Independence Holiday weekend approaching and some much needed drier weather allowing producers to get into the hay fields supply was light with moderate buyer attendence and moderate demand. Happy Independence weekend to all.
