Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report: Hay trades were steady on good demand and 
moderate to active trading activity.  Demand for hay is continuing to 
pickup as we get further into fall.  A large supply of hay is on the 
market, but there’s a wide variety in the quality of hay due to sporadic 
weather during the growing season.  Hay quality continues to be the 
largest determiner in price.
