Washington-Oregon (Columbia Basin) Weekly Hay Report

Tons:  4050    Last Week:  1800    Last Year:  2250   

   Compared to last Friday, Domestic and Export Alfalfa steady in a light test. 
Trade slow. Demand excellent as remaining supplies are in firm hands. Exporters 
expect new crop Timothy to be steady to lower than in 2018 due to larger carryover 
supplies and Alfalfa to be stronger than 2018. Some dairies have chosen to go out 
of state to contract cheaper 1st cutting new crop Alfalfa. Retail/Feed store 
steady.  All prices are dollars per ton and FOB the farm or ranch unless otherwise 
stated. Delivered prices include freight, commissions and other expenses.
