Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, hay sold 20.00-40.00 per ton higher, and straw sold 20.00-40.00 lower. Demand was light to moderate. Buyer attendance was lower than average as many local farmers take advantage of favorable weather conditions for field and farm work. All prices are per ton FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is often provided.
