Reporter comment USDA
As filedCompared to last Thursday, all grades of hay weak. Quality was an issue today again. Some hay was carrying extra moisture or was not attractive to the buyers. Buyers appear to be waiting for better quality which hopefully will come. Trade slow to moderate with light to moderate demand.
