As filed

Today in Madison county, colder temputures and high winds drove a lighter offering and lighter buyer attendance. Small package hay traded mostly steady as compared to a week ago. Large package hays traded higher 6.00-13.00 on a solid offering of large rounds. Better demand on a better straw offering with good overall demand for today's sale.
