South Dakota Weekly Hay Summary

All prices per ton, unless noted, FOB the stack.

   Compared to last week:  Alfalfa and grass steady.  Six to 12 inches of 
snow experienced the area in the past week meant hay was met with very 
good demand.  Heavy snow fall impacted transportation again making moving 
hay difficult.  More snow and cold temperatures expected for the area 
this next week. All hay and straw sold by the ton FOB, unless otherwise 
noted.
