Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "And what starting salary are you looking for?" The engineer replies, "In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer inquires, "Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?" The engineer sits up straight and says, "Wow! Are you kidding?" The interviewer replies, "Yeah, but you started it."

Great turnout today for a big sale! Starting to see some first cutting come in this week. Alfalfa's average is holding mostly steady with premium bringing slightly under average. Grass steady to higher with higher quality consistently in the 200s. Cornstalks steady and straw higher. See you next week at 12:30!

At a party, a young wife admonished her husband, “That’s’ the fourth time you’ve gone back
for ice cream and cake. Doesn’t it embarrass you?”
Why should it?” answered her spouse. “I keep telling them it’s for you.”

An old Hay Auction Joke.
Shortly after take off the pilot said “Thank you for flying with us this morning. The weather is…” Then suddenly, while still on the mic, he starts screaming, “Ahhh it’s burning, IT'S BURNING!” A ghostly silence reigned. He gets back on the microphone and says, “I sincerely apologize for the incident, but I just dropped a very hot cup of coffee on my lap… You should see my pants!” One passenger shouts back, “Why don’t you come here and see ours!”

Rock Valley Hay Report
Thursday, May 14 , 2026
97 Loads
Windy day for a sale but still a great buying crowd and a higher quantity of Hay! Market is steady to a little higher in some classes. Alfalfa was steady at an average of around $165-170 with a few higher quality outliers pushing prices into the high $200's! Grass is higher again with averages around $165 and higher quality in the lower $200's. Mixed higher and cornstalks steady. Still some hay around the country it seems even as dryer conditions prevail in the west. Thanks for coming and hope to see you next week Thursday @ 12:30.

A boy asks his father, "Dad, are bugs good to eat?" "That's disgusting. Don't talk about things like that over dinner," the dad replies. After dinner the father asks, "Now, son, what did you want to ask me?" "Oh, nothing," the boy says. "There was a bug in your soup, but now it’s gone."
