   Compared to Aug 11:  Prices trended generally steady.  All prices
reported today are 2017 crop, unless otherwise noted.  Most producers
are done with first and second cutting and out in the field working on
third cutting.  Preparations for the eclipse through the state of Oregon
has slowed hay sales this week.  Some hay producers even welcomed visitors
into their hay fields to watch this once in a lifetime event.  Retail/Stable
type hay remains the largest demanded hay.
All prices are in dollars per ton and FOB unless otherwise stated.
