Rock Valley Hay Report

Slightly smaller crowd today. Market was up in Alfalfa and cornstalks and down in Grass and Straw. Grass quality and prices saw a wide spread across the board. Straw demand was weaker while demand for Cornstalks was strong. More orders this week from further west as local hay supply continues to shrink. Thanks for coming out! See ya next Thursday at 12:30.
