Market today was steady to slightly stronger on a few loads.  The higher prices reflect that on the better quality alfalfa.  Bedding sold steady to weaker.  Happy New Year from all of us at the Rock Valley Hay Auction

Home Covid test:
1. Open a can of beer
2. If you can smell the beer, drink it to see if you can taste it
3. If you can taste it and smell it, this confirms you don’t have Covid
Last night I did the test 19 times and all were negative. Tonight, I am going to do the test again because this morning I woke up with a headache and feeling like I’m coming down with something. I am so nervous.
