Rock Valley Hay Report

Thursday, April 16,2026

57 loads


Alfalfa and Grass are higher while cornstalks remained steady. The largest jump in price came from Grass even with the larger supply being offered today. This is attributed to buyers concerned about drier conditions around the country. While "premium" and "supreme" hay are still bringing the most demand, "fair" and "good" alfalfa prices are starting to cover the spread. Thanks for coming out! See you next Thursday @ 12:30.

A cruise ship passes by a remote island, and all the passengers see a bearded man running around and waving his arms wildly. “Captain,” one passenger asks, “who is that man over there?” The captain squints at the island and says, “I have no idea, but he goes nuts every year when we pass him.”

Nice day for a hay sale! Alfalfa saw the biggest jump in price with more quality being offered. Grass was much stronger over last week but still slightly a higher average overall. Straw was higher while cornstalks were steady. Market seems to be trending up with buyers traveling from further distances to buy hay. Good to see everyone today and thanks for stopping by. Sales every Thursday @ 12:30.

Tough Old Broad

Britain's oldest woman turned 114 today. When asked the secret of her longevity, she attributed it to taking a walk at midnight every night. When quizzed on whether she was concerned about the increase in muggings in recent years, she said that she was not, and would continue mugging people as long as her health holds out.
