Price Unit marked as Per Bundle are for 21 small bale bundles. Quality Grades based on visual appearance and intent of sale (useage) where test data was unavailable. Good demand was seen for hay across the state, with active buyer activity purchasing hay, with trades being noted both to the southeast and moving west. Dry pasture conditions over the last month have helped with harvest and sale efforts, but has reduced the yield coming off later-cuts of hay."
