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

Light demand for all types and qualities of hay, very few reported sales 
as buyers are showing little interest currently.
As there was a good sized carryover of hay from last year, and difficult 
haying conditions this year, there is a good supply of rained on, 
lower quality hay.
Area hay auctions are seeing plenty of this type of hay on a weekly basis.
The rains, and storms, have been frequent this summer and when coupled 
with the high humidity have prevented hay growers from putting up high 
quality hay.
