We had a large run today. Market was generally a little weaker today. Good alfalfa held its own. Lower quality grass and alfalfa struggled a bit and better quality grass was also a bit off.  Stay tuned as we will be announcing the day for Hay Day soon!!

--A new supermarket opened near my house. It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you can hear the sound of thunder in the distance and smell fresh rain. When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and smell fresh hay. When you get to the eggs, you can hear chickens clucking and cackling, and you can smell the aroma of bacon and eggs. The veggie department features the smell of buttered corn. I don’t by toilet paper there anymore.

Market was called mostly steady with a few signs of weakness- moreso on the grass than the alfalfa. Straw remained steady.

 A blonde walks into a gas station and asks an employee, “I locked my keys in my car. Do you have a coat hanger or something I can stick through the window to unlock the door?” Ten minutes later a trucker comes in and can’t stop laughing, so the employee asks him what’s so funny. The trucker says, “There is a blonde who is trying to open her car door with a hanger.” The employee says, “So what? This could happen to anyone.” But the trucker explains, “Sure, but usually there isn’t another blonde in the car who yells ‘a little more right… a bit to the left!’”

Market was called steady to weaker on all classes. Quality of the alfalfa varied quite a bit, but most of it was pretty decent. Quality on grass was very up and down. Stay tuned as we will be announcing the day for Hay Day soon!!

-- A seventy year old man asked his wife, “Does it make you sad when you see me running after young girls?” The wife replied, “No, not at all. Even dogs chase cars they can’t drive.”
