All classes up with a strong buying crowd today. Supply is down in all classes regionally along with the offering we seen this sale. Wet conditions and high moving costs are contributing to lower quantity as well. Thanks for coming out, we hope to see you next week at 12:30.

My wife asked if she could have a little peace and quiet while cooking dinner tonight...
So I took the battery out of the smoke detector.

All the rain has been affecting appearance on the lot. Good alfalfa showing high demand with good grass not far behind. Lower demand for poor grass driving averages down. Stalks steady to higher with straw remaining steady.

A young boy was at the corner grocery picking out a box of laundry detergent.
"No laundry" the boy said, "I'm going to wash my dog."
"But you shouldn't use this to wash your dog. It's very powerful and he'll get sick. In fact, it might even kill him."
Undeterred the boy carried the detergent to the counter and paid for it, even as the grocer still tried to talk him out of it.
About a week later the boy was back in the store to buy some candy. The grocer asked the boy how his dog was doing.
"Oh, he died," the boy said.
The grocer said he was sorry the dog died but added, "I tried to tell you not to use that detergent on your dog."
The boy replied, "I don't think it was the detergent that killed him."
"Oh, what was it then?"
"I think it was the spin cycle.”

Grass and Alfalfa are higher this week, likely from lower supply and a stronger buying crowd. Cornstalks were steady while straw seemed to drop slightly. The heavy rains have made it harder to get hay in and out these past few weeks so we hope to see an increase in supply in the coming weeks. Thank you for coming out and hope to see you next Thursday @ 12:30!

All classes of hay lower today. Many buyers are in the field this week. Lighter crowd with not as much interest. Plenty of CRP in the offering putting pressure on the grass market.
