Rock Valley Hay Report

Thursday August 10, 2023

87 Loads
___________________________________________________

Today the quality was much lower on both alfalfa and grass. The prices reflect the lower quality as most of the grass was CRP. The bedding was steady.

Ashley was cruising east of Rock Valley at 60 mph when she spotted a police cruiser coming in the distance. She revved it up to 70. Looking back, she noted another police had joined the *chase*. So she pushed it up to 80. A 3rd law enforcement vehicle joined. Seeing JJ’s ahead, she coasted into a parking spot, jumped out & headed into the restroom. When she emerged, the 3 officers were waiting outside of the door. She smiled and said, “I’m guessing you guys never thought I’d make it either, but I did!”

**NEW SERVICE COMING**

Starting in September we will be offering ground hay delivered to your farm on live bottom trailers. Prices will depend on exactly what you want as far as Alfalfa, Grass, or Mixed Hay. For more details contact Paul 712-470-1274 or rockvalleyhay@gmail.com

Chinese food is loaded with msg. Veggies can be disastrous because of fertilizers & pesticides
None of us realize the long-term damage from the rotten bacteria in our drinking water.

Rock Valley Hay Report

145 Loads
___________________________________________________

Heavy volume today as the market continues to weaken, especially on the better-quality alfalfa. We had a very good size buyer crowd in attendance despite the high temperatures. The grass consisted of a lot of mid quality and the alfalfa was mostly mid to poorer quality.  This was the first week with any new straw, obviously the four loads of wheat straw rounds were very nice looking.

Mrs. Jones was looking out of her front window one Sunday afternoon when she saw her neighbor coming up the drive dressed in his gardening clothes. 'He must be coming to borrow our lawnmower,' Mrs. Jones remarked to Mr. Jones indignantly, 'And on Sunday! How shameful.  I won't let him have it..  I'll tell him we haven't got one.'
