Weekly Texas Hay Report

  Compared to last report:  All hay classes remained steady on light to 
moderate movement.  A large variety of hay available on the market which 
is typical this time of year as producers are busy baling.  The Panhandle 
continued to be hot and dry with little to no rain in sight.  Meanwhile, 
the North and East are hoping for a break in rain to be able to get into 
their hay fields.  Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except 
where noted. 

   The Texas Department of Agriculture has Hay and Grazing Hot Line set
