Rock Valley Hay Report

Thursday, July 9, 2026

 103 loads


Warm day for a sale. Market was up overall after a weeks hiatus. Alfalfa was up slightly with mostly 2025 hay and 2026 first cutting along with a few loads of 2026 second cutting. Grass quality was down overall with prices reflecting accordingly. Cornstalks were steady to slightly higher. Light test on straw with one load of new straw bringing $167.50 and 2025 tops and bottoms bringing lower. Good buying crowd, thanks for coming out. See you next week @ 12:30.
