Alfalfa trade and movement very light. Demand remains good to very good but 
supplies are extremely light. Most buyers now content waiting on new crop 
alfalfa. Majority of the state received minimal moisture this week in 
addition to colder than normal temperatures which has slowed new growth. The 
hay market was not fully tested but sales being reported were steady. Grass 
hay demand was good and movement moderate. Prices were steady. The bulk of 
remaining grass hay consists of mostly poor to fair quality mixed grass.
