Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report:  All classes of hay traded fully steady.  
Movement was moderate. Reports of rain was either feast or famine across 
the state which gives hope of more hay being available in future months.  
Coastal Bermuda producers in East and South Texas received some rain that 
should help with one more cutting as some are currently in the field 
baling.  Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except where noted. 

   The Texas Department of Agriculture has Hay and Grazing phone set 
up for Buyers and sellers looking for hay or grazing; the number is 1-
