Reporter comment USDA
As filedCompared to last Thursday, all grades of hay 3.00-15.00 lower. Straw and cornstalks not tested this week. Trade slow with light to moderate demand. Many buyers are in the fields. Lighter crowd with not as much interest. Plenty of CRP in the offering putting pressure on the grass market.
