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

Compared to last week:  Alfalfa and grass hay firm.
Very good demand for high testing, old crop, dairy quality hay as the 
first cutting was delayed much later than normal resulting in hay that 
is lower testing in Relative Feed Value.
Supplies of dairy quality hay is limited but dairy producers aren't 
chasing the market either.
Very good demand for grass hay, the quality was very high if it was 
put up last weekend as the temps were hot and there was a strong wind 
that dried it down quickly.
