Lighter buyer participation and heavier volume putting the hay market under pressure. Grass hay was lower due to high volume and lower quality pulling lower prices, alfalfa saw steady demand and steady prices. Wheat straw, oat straw and cornstalks lower.

Slightly smaller crowd today. Market was up in Alfalfa and cornstalks and down in Grass and Straw. Grass quality and prices saw a wide spread across the board. Straw demand was weaker while demand for Cornstalks was strong. More orders this week from further west as local hay supply continues to shrink. Thanks for coming out! See ya next Thursday at 12:30.

Warm day for a sale. Market was up overall after a weeks hiatus. Alfalfa was up slightly with mostly 2025 hay and 2026 first cutting along with a few loads of 2026 second cutting. Grass quality was down overall with prices reflecting accordingly. Cornstalks were steady to slightly higher. Light test on straw with one load of new straw bringing $167.50 and 2025 tops and bottoms bringing lower. Good buying crowd, thanks for coming out. See you next week @ 12:30.
