South Dakota Weekly Hay Summary

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


   Compared to last week:  Alfalfa and grass mostly steady, reported
sales still rather limited.  Good demand for high quality alfalfa
hay, especially from out of state buyers, demand only moderate for lower
quality hay as this supply is more plentiful due to the persistent summer
rains.  After the heavy rains a week ago the sun came out and warmed up
greatly, but more rain in the forecast for the weekend still making it 
hard to put up hay without rain on it.  All hay and straw sold by the ton
FOB, unless otherwise noted.
