Market was steady to strong on alfalfa today.  Grass was steady.  Straw was steady as well.  Cornstalks were strong. 

Thanks to everyone who came out to help Paul celebrate 25 years owning the hay auction.

**A trucker pulled into a highway café. “I want 3 flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards.” The blonde waitress (first day on the job) didn’t want to look stupid in front of the customer, so she went to the kitchen and asked the cook, “This guy just ordered 3 flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think this place is, an auto parts store?” “No,” the cook replied. “Three flat tires means three pancakes. A pair of headlights means two eggs sunny side up. And a pair of running boards means 2 slices of crisp bacon!” “Oh. Ok!” said the blonde relieved to finally understand the code words. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer. The trucker asked, “What are the beans for, Blondie?” She replied, “I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights, and running boards, you might as well gas up!”

**An Iowa Winter Poem
It’s winter in Iowa and the gentle breeze blows, 

Seventy miles an hour at thirty below.
Oh how I love Iowa, when the snow is up your butt
You take a breath of winter air and your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the winter here is wonderful. So I guess I will hang around.
I could never leave Iowa, cause I’m frozen to the ground!

**A man left from work one Friday afternoon. Instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend hunting and fishing with the boys and spending all his wages. When he finally got home on Sunday night, he was confronted by his very angry wife. After two hours, she stopped nagging and said, “How would you like it if you didn’t see me for two or three days?” He replied, “That would be fine with me.” Monday went by and he didn’t see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday provided the same results. Thursday the swelling went down just enough for him to see her just a little out of the corner of his left eye.

**Three surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on. The first surgeon said, “Electricians are the best because everything inside is color coded.” The second surgeon says, “No, I think librarians are, everything inside them is in alphabetical order.” The third surgeon shut them all up when he said, “You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no brains, and no spine. Plus, the head and the butt are interchangeable.”

**I go to KFC to get the kids something to eat. They wanted the kids meal with a leg so I said “kids meal with the leg” and the lady says “which side?” Me- *complete silence as I heavily contemplate such an odd decision* “I guess the right side. I don’t know what the difference is.” After several moments of laughter, she says, “No honey. Which side would you like to go with the leg? Mashed potatoes or wedges?” Jesus take the wheel.
