Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report:  All hay classes sold fully steady.  Trade 
activity and demand were moderate for the limited hay left to purchase 
this time of year.  The panhandle received some much needed rain but high 
winds curbed hay movement.  Coastal Bermuda producers in the north and 
east are pretty much sold out and waiting 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 
up for Buyers and sellers looking for hay or grazing; the number is 1-
512-787-9966. The website for the hotline is:
