As filed

Load Count: 85

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