Compared to last week: Reported hay sales are very light this week. Demand
and interest is very light at best, as end-users are just not looking to get hay
laid into their yards this time of year. Winter kill is an issue this year in
some alfalfa stands along the I-29 corridor. The rain that occured at Christmas
created ice that killed out many plants especially in the low areas of the fields.
Producers are talking of interseeding orchard grass into their affected stands.
Rain was received by much of the state this week, bringing spring field work to
a halt. All hay and straw sold by the ton FOB, unless otherwise noted.
