Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, Alfalfa/Grass mix hay sold steady with grass hay and Timothy/Grass blends selling weak. Corn fodder and straw sold weak. No comparison for small square bales due to light receipts. Buyer demand was moderate on a moderate to heavy supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
