Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa blends sold mostly 10.00-25.00 lower. Grass Hays traded weak on a very light test this week. Straw large bales sold steady to 15.00 higher, with no comparison for small bales. Demand and buyer attendance was light, with light supply, likely due to recent rain conditions over the past few days. All prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile local delivery is typically provided.
