103 loads
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.

Market was up today. Nice weather and good demand, particularly on grass. Alfalfa held steady with a good supply of first cutting on the ground. Grass came back up after a downturn in prices last week. Many nice loads of first cutting grass. Cornstalks were steady to slightly lower. No straw to test. Thanks all for coming out!

A woman went to the Doctor’s office where she was seen by one of the new doctors. After about 4 minutes in the exam room, she burst out screaming as she ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and told her to go relax in another room. The older doctor marched down the hallway to the back where the first doctor was and demanded, “What’s the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old, she had two grown children and several grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?!” The new doctor continued to write on his clipboard and without looking up said, “Does she still have the hiccups?"

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "And what starting salary are you looking for?" The engineer replies, "In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer inquires, "Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?" The engineer sits up straight and says, "Wow! Are you kidding?" The interviewer replies, "Yeah, but you started it."

Great turnout today for a big sale! Starting to see some first cutting come in this week. Alfalfa's average is holding mostly steady with premium bringing slightly under average. Grass steady to higher with higher quality consistently in the 200s. Cornstalks steady and straw higher. See you next week at 12:30!
