Tons:  4700    Last Week:  5100    Last Year:  4650     

   Compared to last Friday, all grades of Alfalfa domestic and export steady. 
Timothy not tested this week. Trade slow to moderate this week as export and 
domestic buyers remain cautious. Exporters are looking for non-rained on 4th. 
Demand remains moderate to good on Alfalfa, very good for straw. Due to heavy dews 
and rain showers some producers are green chopping their 4th cutting. Feed 
store/retail hay steady. Dairies are feeding 3-5 lbs of Alfalfa in their rations. 
All prices are dollars per ton and FOB the farm or ranch unless otherwise stated.
