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

Compared to last week:  Alfalfa hay steady.
Moderate demand from local hay buyers, best demand from out of state 
dairies in need of high testing alfalfa.
Good demand for grass hay as calves will be arriving in feedyard pens 
and need high quality, long stemmed hay to get them coming to the bunk.
Soybean harvest is ongoing, in between rain showers.
Very warm temps through the weekend into midweek will help to make great 
progress with harvest.
