**Teacher- “Billy, if there are 5 birds on a fence and you shoot 1, how many birds are left?”  Billy- “None, the others would fly away.”  Teacher- “The answer is 4 but I like the way you think.”  Billy- “I have a question for you Miss.  There are 3 women eating ice cream, 1 licking, 1 biting, and 1 sucking.  Which one is married?”  Teacher nervously answers, “The one sucking.”  Billy- “The answer is the one with the wedding ring on, but I like the way you think.”

Today’s sale brought good volume and was definitely a buyer’s market.  The quality of hay varied a lot along with the price.  The general market was lower with the exception of alfalfa being better. Demand was lighter on other grades of hay.  **Hay Day is April 2, 2020

** A police officer found a perfect place for watching for speeding motorists.  One day, the officer was amazed when everyone was under the speed limit, so he investigated and found the problem.  A 10 year old boy was standing on the side of the road with a huge hand painted sign which said “Radar Trap Ahead.”  A little more investigative work led the officer to the boy’s accomplice:  another boy about 100 yards beyond the radar trap with a sign reading “TIPS” and a bucket at his feet full of change.
