As filed

Compared to last week: No recent comparable sales for a market trend. Quality was attractive. Trade activity and buyer demand were moderate. Temperatures have cooled off to the upper 80's and low 90's. Thunderstorms have accompanied the cooler weather, with reports of a half inch to over an inch of rain across the majority of the Panhandle. Rain is in the forecast throughout the week.
