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

Light to moderate demand for all types of hay.
Good demand for corn stalks and straw.
Winter weather moved into the region Thanksgiving week and every week 
since has seen a clipper system, or multiple systems bringing snow.
Stockmen have had to use a lot of bedding trying to keep their stock 
dry, which is helping demand for corn stalks and straw.
Demand for hay is starting to improve as the weather has been cold and 
snowy, more cold on the way for the weekend as the next Alberta clipper 
moves through with temps plunging to -20.
