Compared to last week, alfalfa sold steady on a light comparison. Alfalfa/grass mix sold weak on a light comparison. Orchard grass sold steady. Prairie/meadow grass sold strong. No comparison on wheat straw due to limited supply. Buyer demand was moderate on a light supply likely due to the weather conditions. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
