Rock Valley Hay Report
Thursday, April 9,2026
57 loads
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.

Rock Valley Hay Report
Thursday, April 4, 2026
64 loads
Although the rain was much needed, it definitely affected prices today. Good buying crowd, but demand under the conditions was lower than last week. Alfalfa and grass were lower, but still averaging higher than earlier this month. Straw held steady while cornstalks came back to normal pricing. Thanks for braving the conditions today! Sales every Thursday @ 12:30!

It started raining coins outside today.
I guess it’s just climate change.
