The sale today brought descent buyer attendance. Alfalfa quality varied tremendously with the price being generally steady. Quality of grass was descent, selling steady to weak, and cornstalks sold lower than last week.
**A couple were having marital problems. They decided together to do the right thing and they contacted a marriage guidance counselor. Several visits followed when lots of questions were asked and lots of listening carried out. Eventually the counselor felt that he had discovered the main problem. He stood up, went over to the woman and asking her to stand up he gave her a huge cuddle. He turned to the husband and said, “This is what your wife needs, at least once every day.” The husband frowned, considered what had been said for a moment, then replied, “Ok, what time do you want me to bring her back tomorrow?”

** A blonde driving a car became lost in a snowstorm. She didn’t panic however, because she remembered what her dad had once told her. “If you ever get stuck in a snowstorm, just wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it.” Sure enough, pretty soon a snow plow came by, and she started to follow it. She followed the plow for about forty-five minutes. Finally the driver of the truck got out and asked her what she was doing. And she explained that her dad had told her if she ever got stuck in a snowstorm, to follow a plow. The driver nodded and said, “Well, I’m done with the Walmart parking lot, do you want to follow me over to Best Buy now?”

** The Indians asked their Chief in Autumn if the Winter was going to be cold or not. Not really knowing an answer, the chief replies that the Winter was going to be cold with lots of snow and that the members of the village were to collect wood to be prepared. Being a good leader, he then went to the next phone booth and called the National Weather Service and asked, “Is this winter to be cold?” The man on the phone responded, “This Winter is going to be quite cold indeed.” So the Chief went back to speed up his people to collect even more wood to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again, “Is it going to be a very cold winter?” “Yes,” the man replied, “It’s going to be a very cold winter.” So the Chief goes back to his people and orders them to go and find every scrap of wood they can find. Two weeks later he calls the National Weather Service again: “Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?” “Absolutely,” the man replies, “The Indians are collecting wood like crazy!”

** A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street.
“But officer,” the man began, “I can explain.”
“Just be quiet” snapped the officer. “I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.”
“But officer, I just wanted to say…”
“And I said to keep quiet! You’re going to jail!”
A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you that the chief’s at his daughter’s wedding. He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back.”
“Don’t count on it,” answered the fellow in the cell. “I’m the groom.”

** Winters are fierce in Minnesota where he lives, so the owner of a construction project felt he was doing a good deed when he bought earmuffs for his foreman. Noticing, however, that the foreman wasn’t wearing the earmuffs even on the coldest snowy day, the project manager asked, “Didn’t you like the earmuffs?” The foreman said, “They’re a thing of beauty.” “Why don’t you wear them?” The project manager said. The foreman explained, “I was wearing them the first day, and somebody offered to buy me lunch, but I didn’t hear him! Never again!”

Market was steady to weaker today. Quality was a little lower than what we have been seeing. Buyer interest was fair. Remember: Monday and Thursday sales continue through the end of April
