Reporter comment USDA
As filedNot a lot of comparable hays for a good price comparison, however most of the Good to Premium quality in large packages traded steady to a bit higher. Hays and straw in small squares, generally sold lower. Trade was active with moderate demand on the small squares and good on the larger packages.
