Today we had another large run with lots of low-quality grass and alfalfa. The general trend is lower across the board. We had a large buyer crowd that was only interested in bargains.

Today the quality was much lower on both alfalfa and grass. The prices reflect the lower quality as most of the grass was CRP. The bedding was steady.

Ashley was cruising east of Rock Valley at 60 mph when she spotted a police cruiser coming in the distance. She revved it up to 70. Looking back, she noted another police had joined the *chase*. So she pushed it up to 80. A 3rd law enforcement vehicle joined. Seeing JJ’s ahead, she coasted into a parking spot, jumped out & headed into the restroom. When she emerged, the 3 officers were waiting outside of the door. She smiled and said, “I’m guessing you guys never thought I’d make it either, but I did!”

Ashley was cruising east of Rock Valley at 60 mph when she spotted a police cruiser coming in the distance. She revved it up to 70. Looking back, she noted another police had joined the *chase*. So she pushed it up to 80. A 3rd law enforcement vehicle joined. Seeing JJ’s ahead, she coasted into a parking spot, jumped out & headed into the restroom. When she emerged, the 3 officers were waiting outside of the door. She smiled and said, “I’m guessing you guys never thought I’d make it either, but I did!”

**NEW SERVICE COMING**

Starting in September we will be offering ground hay delivered to your farm on live bottom trailers. Prices will depend on exactly what you want as far as Alfalfa, Grass, or Mixed Hay. For more details contact Paul 712-470-1274 or rockvalleyhay@gmail.com

A dietician was giving a lecture to nurses- "The rubbish we put into our stomachs & consume
should have killed us years ago! Red meat is terrible. Fizzy drinks attack your stomach lining.
Chinese food is loaded with msg. Veggies can be disastrous because of fertilizers & pesticides
None of us realize the long-term damage from the rotten bacteria in our drinking water.
However, there is one food that is incredibly dangerous! We all have, or will, eat it at some time
in our lives. Can anyone here tell me what food causes the most grief & suffering for years after
eating it?" A 65 year old nurse sitting in the front row stood up & said 'Wedding cake.'
