Compared to last week, alfalfa and alfalfa/grass mix sold strong. Orchard grass sold strong on a light comparison. Orchard/timothy sold steady on a light comparison. Prairie/meadow grass sold steady with a weak undertone noted. Corn fodder sold steady. No comparison on wheat straw. Buyer demand was moderate on a moderate to heavy supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
