On a fishing trip to a remote lake in Northern Quebec, I asked the outfitter, “Do you stay here during the winter?” “No,” he said. “The snow gets too deep. We can’t get supplies in. Like many Canadians, I go south for the winter.” “Oh,” I said. “Where do you go?” “The Rock Valley Hay Auction in Iowa.”

An Irishman was sitting in the Pub driken his favorite brew when finally, he says, “Well, looks like I’ll go home now.” So, he steps off the stool & falls flat on his face! He tries to get up but falls again. He crawls out of the door and all the way home to his bed. The next mornin’ the wife says, “Murphy! Ya ben out driken again have ya?” “Well no, what makes you think so?” “Magee called from the pub & said you left your wheelchair again!”

Today the market continued to be weak as demand is dismal. Alfalfa, grass, and bedding are all struggling to find a home.

Remember Hay Day 2024 will be held at our yard April 4!

Happy St Patrick’s Day and have a safe weekend!
