Compared to last week, alfalfa and alfalfa/grass mix sold weak. Orchard grass sold strong. No comparison on timothy/orchard or prairie/meadow grass. Wheat straw sold steady with a weak undertone noted. Corn fodder sold strong on a light comparison. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
