Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report:  All hay classes traded fully steady on light 
to moderate movement.  The panhandle area remains dry and in much need of 
moisture despite the light snow or dusting received early in the week.  
Alfalfa producers continue to move hay out of storage barns to make room 
for new crop.  Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except where 
noted. 

   The Texas Department of Agriculture has Hay and Grazing phone set
