As filed

Compared to last week, alfalfa sold steady with a weak undertone while grass sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher. No comparison was available for mixed grass due to limited receipts last week. Corn stalk sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher while wheat sold 10.00 lower. Buyer demand was good for a good sale supply.
