Alfalfa & Grass Results 04/16/26

Rock Valley Hay Report

Thursday, April 16,2026

57 loads


Alfalfa and Grass are higher while cornstalks remained steady. The largest jump in price came from Grass even with the larger supply being offered today. This is attributed to buyers concerned about drier conditions around the country. While "premium" and "supreme" hay are still bringing the most demand, "fair" and "good" alfalfa prices are starting to cover the spread. Thanks for coming out! See you next Thursday @ 12:30.

Castaway

A cruise ship passes by a remote island, and all the passengers see a bearded man running around and waving his arms wildly. “Captain,” one passenger asks, “who is that man over there?” The captain squints at the island and says, “I have no idea, but he goes nuts every year when we pass him.”
