======================================================================

Few reported sales this week, steady undertones.
Moderate demand for old crop hay, good demand for straw and corn stalks 
to bed confinement barns.
First cutting of alfalfa was difficult to put up between the rains and 
the cooler weather, it warmed up Sunday and Monday but it was hard 
to get hay to fully dry and cure.
Warmer weather in the forecast next week.
There is still quite a bit of old crop hay around as the winter was 
mild and open.
Good rains across the state the last few weeks have greatly improved 
the grazing outlook as it was rather grim looking two weeks ago.
