A young boy was at the corner grocery picking out a box of laundry detergent.
"No laundry" the boy said, "I'm going to wash my dog."
"But you shouldn't use this to wash your dog. It's very powerful and he'll get sick. In fact, it might even kill him."
Undeterred the boy carried the detergent to the counter and paid for it, even as the grocer still tried to talk him out of it.
About a week later the boy was back in the store to buy some candy. The grocer asked the boy how his dog was doing.
"Oh, he died," the boy said.
The grocer said he was sorry the dog died but added, "I tried to tell you not to use that detergent on your dog."
The boy replied, "I don't think it was the detergent that killed him."
"Oh, what was it then?"
"I think it was the spin cycle.”

Grass and Alfalfa are higher this week, likely from lower supply and a stronger buying crowd. Cornstalks were steady while straw seemed to drop slightly. The heavy rains have made it harder to get hay in and out these past few weeks so we hope to see an increase in supply in the coming weeks. Thank you for coming out and hope to see you next Thursday @ 12:30!
