50 loads
Still pretty wet around our area! Sale was a little soggy but a nice crowd came out. Volume is sticking around that 50 load marker as some hay is still to wet to get out. Market overall down a little today in all classes except for cornstalks which were higher. See you next week @ 12:30. REMINDER. NO SALE THANKSGIVING WEEK.

A man was eating grass in a park.
A billionnaire's limo was driving by, and the rich man told his driver to stop. He asked the poor man: "Sir, why are you eating grass?" "I don't have any money sir, I cannot buy food, so I just eat grass". The billionnaire was disgusted: "It's awful that you're eating grass like that! Please, let me take you to my place and feed you." The man warms up to his generosity, but objects: "Sir, my wife and children are also eating grass elsewhere in the park. I cannot abandon them like that." "Oh My", says the billionnaire, "your whole family is feeding on grass here? This is unacceptable. If you wish, I can take all of you to my place for dinner." The poor man is in awe, but he asks: "Sir, my wife and I have 5 children, are you sure you can provide food for all 7 of us?" "Oh, don't worry", says the billionnaire, "I have 50 acres of grass in my property!"

Two English gentlemen are about to play golf.
One arrives forty minutes late.
“Henry, what kept you?”
“Well I couldn’t decide whether to go to work or play golf.”
“I see. But why did it take you forty minutes?”
“I had to toss a coin fifteen times before I finally got golf!”
