Compared to last report: Few comparable trades for a full test but a 
lower undertone was noticed.
A majority of sales for export was noted.
Old crop supplies keep dwindling down.
Most hay producers focusing on starting 4th cutting and plan to focus 
on moving inventory later down the road.
Trade light with light demand.
