As filed

Compared to last week, Alfalfa Blend large bales sold steady to 30.00 lower, with small bales selling steady. No comparison for Alfalfa due to a lack of comparable sales. Grass varieties traded steady with a weak undertone. Large bales of straw sold steady to 15.00 higher with no comparison for small bales. Buyer attendance and demand was moderate to heavy, with moderate to heavy supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile local delivery is typically provided.
