Rock Valley Hay Auction (Thur) - Rock Valley, IA
 
Released on August 28, 2026
 
Compared to last Thursday,  all grades of hay 3.00-15.00 lower. Straw and 
cornstalks not tested this week. Trade slow with light to moderate demand. Many 
buyers are in the fields. Lighter crowd with not as much interest. Plenty of 
CRP in the offering putting pressure on the grass market.
