Weekly East River South Dakota Hay Market

All prices per ton, unless noted, FOB the stack.

   Compared to last week:  Very few reported sales of hay this week.  Prices continue
to hold at mostly steady levels.  Hay sellers are getting few calls and interest is light
at best.  Calving season is in full-swing and they have either bought up the majority of their
hay needs or are only buyer on an as-needed basis.  All hay and straw sold by the
ton FOB, unless otherwise noted.
