Reporter comment USDA
As filedCompared to last Thursday, Quality alfalfa and grass with good RFV and color saw strong demand, pushing prices higher. Lower quality cornstalks and straw experienced minimal buyer activity, contributing to a softer, slow-moving market. Overall buyer demand was looking for higher quality hay as we seen in the larger spread on prices. Trade active with good demand.
