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

Compared to last report hay sold firmer on few comparable sales.
Higher quality alfalfa sold 10.00 higher.
Demand continues to be on the softer side with reports of producers 
finishing up corn harvest and others on the final stretch.
Grinding hay continues to be more and more available.
Hay growers expect demand to pick up when colder weather and freezing 
windchills come along.
Reports of hay being moved for cattle producers that have just weaned 
and needing inventory on hand and to those with gravity wagons that feed 
a ration.
Corn harvest is over 50 percent done while sugar beet harvest also took 
advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and pushed on strong.
