Tons: 17,300 Last Week: 12,650 Last Year: 6400
Compared to last Friday, all grades of Alfalfa and Timothy for domestic and
export steady. Trade moderate to active this week as export and domestic buyers
remain active. Demand remains good. Many producers are cutting 3rd and 4th. While
demand has turned light on even premium quality horse and dairy timothy, demand for
lesser quality timothy for export is very light. The large carryover of old crop
timothy from last year and lower prices have created an atmosphere of caution with
overseas buyers. Some timothy growers in Washington have recently plowed out
timothy fields and will not harvest a second cutting due to the lower market.
Retail/Feed store not tested this week. All prices are dollars per ton and
FOB the farm or ranch unless otherwise stated. Delivered prices include freight,
commissions and other expenses.
