Reporter comment USDA
As filedCompared to last week, prices across the board were generally lower, as much as 25.00 lower on large comparable packages and .50 to 3.50 lower on small squares of comparable hays. Trade was active with moderate to good demand on a light supply. There was no straw this week for a price comparison. Several of the offerings were new crop.
