California Hay Report

  Compared to last week: All classes traded steady with moderate demand.  Rain 
and snow has impacted areas of California and the southern part of the state has 
had issues with getting enough time between storms to accurately cure hay, or in 
some cases getting rain damage to hay that has been laid down. Multiple sources 
have had some weather that has impacted their hay crop, with more rain likely 
over the weekend.  Hay is reported FOB the stack or barn unless otherwise noted.  
Regions are defined at bottom of report.
