Today the alfalfa market was mostly steady with good quality. The market on grass was generally weaker and mostly average quality. The bedding market remains very weak. Many farmers were busy planting corn as they’re trying to beat the forecasted rain for tonight & tomorrow. REMINDER: 4/29 will be our last Monday sale for the season, after that we will only conduct Thursday auctions. Thank you all for making this a great winter season!

Today the market was steady to weaker on alfalfa and grass. The cornstalks were stronger. The wet week had an impact on the market.
