As filed

Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa blends sold mostly 15.00-20.00 higher. Grass Hays traded steady with a weak market undertone. Straw large bales sold steady to 5.00 lower, with no comparison for small bales. Demand was moderate and buyer attendance was light, with light supply, both due to the Labor Day holiday. All prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile local delivery is typically provided
