110 Loads
___________________________________________________
Today we had a large volume of hay with the good weather, which also allowed a lot of buyers to come. However the good weather deceased the consumption/demand for hay. As a result, the market was noticeably lower in all classes. Auctions every Monday and Thursday.

I went down the street to a 24-hour grocery store. When I got there, the guy was locking the front door. I said, "Hey! The sign says you're open 24 hours." He Said, "Yes, but not in a row!"
