South Dakota Weekly Hay Summary

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

   Compared to last week:  Too few sales of any class of hay to make
market comparisons.  First reported sales of new crop alfalfa, both
dry hay and as baleage.  The sun finally came out, the temps warmed,
helping to push alfalfa growth and allow cut alfalfa to dry down.
Demand moderate to good at times.  Dry, warm weather in the forecast
for next week hopefully will make for excellent haying conditions.
All hay and straw sold by the ton FOB, unless otherwise noted.

   Alfalfa:  Good to Premium:  Large Squares, new crop 200.00.  Balage:
New crop contract, 1.10 per RFV point.  Fair:  Large Rounds, 110.00.

   Grass:  Good:  Large Rounds, 100.00.
