Oregon Weekly Hay Report

   Compared to Jun 22:  Prices trended generally steady compared to last 
week prices.  Retail/Stable type hay remains the most demanded hay.  Most
hay growers have cut 2018 hay and a few are selling now.  Recent rains 
in the growing areas have slowed sales as those who hadn't baled are waiting 
for hay in the field to dry and those who had baled now have rain damaged 
hay. All sales in this report are new 2018 crop year hay, unless noted by 
Old Crop.
