Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, rain kept receipts light. Not enough comparable receipts for Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blended hay for a market test but a steady to weak undertone was noted. Grass hay traded mostly steady to 20.00 higher. Not enough Straw for a market test. Supply light to moderate. Demand moderate to good. Buyer attendance moderate to good. All prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile local delivery is typically provided.
