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.

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.”

Nice day for a hay sale! Alfalfa saw the biggest jump in price with more quality being offered. Grass was much stronger over last week but still slightly a higher average overall. Straw was higher while cornstalks were steady. Market seems to be trending up with buyers traveling from further distances to buy hay. Good to see everyone today and thanks for stopping by. Sales every Thursday @ 12:30.

Britain's oldest woman turned 114 today. When asked the secret of her longevity, she attributed it to taking a walk at midnight every night. When quizzed on whether she was concerned about the increase in muggings in recent years, she said that she was not, and would continue mugging people as long as her health holds out.

Although the rain was much needed, it definitely affected prices today. Good buying crowd, but demand under the conditions was lower than last week. Alfalfa and grass were lower, but still averaging higher than earlier this month. Straw held steady while cornstalks came back to normal pricing. Thanks for braving the conditions today! Sales every Thursday @ 12:30!

I guess it’s just climate change.

Rock Valley Hay Report
Thursday, March 26, 2026
94 loads
A higher volume of hay moved through the market today. Quality alfalfa and grass with good RFV and color saw strong demand, pushing prices higher. Lower quality cornstalks and straw experienced minimal buyer activity, contributing to a softer, slow-moving market. Overall buyer demand was looking for higher quality hay as we seen in the larger spread on prices.

Stranded in the Desert
Three men are in the middle of a desert when their car breaks down. For their hike to town, they each decide to take one thing with them. One man takes a jug of water. The second man takes a sandwich. The last man takes one of the car doors. The first man says to the last man, “I'm bringing the water because if I get thirsty, I can take a drink. And it makes sense to bring a sandwich in case we get hungry, but why bring a car door?” The last man replies, “If I get hot, I can just roll down the window.”

Sanity Test:
During a visit to the mental asylum, a man asked the director, “How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?” The director said, “Well, we fill up a bathtub. Then we offer the person a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket and ask them to empty the bathtub.” The man nodded, “Oh, I understand! A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.” The director frowned and motioned to the orderlies, “No, a normal person would pull the bathtub drain plug. Do you want a bed near the window?”
