    Compared to last week alfalfa, grass hay, ground and delivered 
forages and dehy pellets sold steady. Demand was moderate to good. Some 
producers are finishing up on third cutting while others have started on 
fourth. After all of the August rains, there will be a lot of cane and 
millet to be baled or chopped. Many feedlots have starting to chop corn-
silage with a few testing fields of high moisture corn. Most reports that 
corn is testing in the mid 30’s or higher for moisture in the central 
part of the state. All sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay
