Alfalfa trade very light on very light supplies. Movement was at a near standstill. Demand is very good and any alfalfa offered is immediately sold. Too few trades confirmed to establish trend this week but final sales moving sharply higher. Grass hay trading and movement were mostly moderate this week with most offerings of Fair quality mixed grass hay. Demand also very good for wheat straw although supplies of good wheat straw are very light.
