Prices are stronger this week, asit appears buyers are seeking dairy quality hay. With harvest, wrapping
up in many areas it appears the next job is securing a hay supply for winter. If you need forage or have
forage to sell or straw, connect to the Farmer-to-Farmer webpage at http://farmertofarmer.uwex.edu/. You
may contact your local county agriculture educator if you need help placing an ad. There is no charge for
the service.
