Today’s sale brought a smaller run.  Market was on a light test, a little stronger more on grass than on alfalfa, with quality that varied and was generally lacking.  **  If you are no longer receiving our newsletter via email, please check your spam folder.

** A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street.

“But officer,” the man began, “I can explain.”

“Just be quiet” snapped the officer. “I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.”

“But officer, I just wanted to say…”

“And I said to keep quiet!  You’re going to jail!”

A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you that the chief’s at his daughter’s wedding. He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back.”

“Don’t count on it,” answered the fellow in the cell. “I’m the groom.”

** Winters are fierce in Minnesota where he lives, so the owner of a construction project felt he was doing a good deed when he bought earmuffs for his foreman.  Noticing, however, that the foreman wasn’t wearing the earmuffs even on the coldest snowy day, the project manager asked, “Didn’t you like the earmuffs?”  The foreman said, “They’re a thing of beauty.”  “Why don’t you wear them?”  The project manager said.  The foreman explained, “I was wearing them the first day, and somebody offered to buy me lunch, but I didn’t hear him!  Never again!”

Today’s sale brought heavy volume with a low market. The quality of alfalfa was up and down but generally decent. Grass hay was pretty decent with cornstalks and straw both steady.  It also brought good buyer attendance leading towards a buyers market.

** My husband and I purchased an old home in Northern New York State from two elderly sisters.  Winter was fast approaching and the year’s first snow came early and I was concerned about the house’s lack of insulation.  “If they could live here all those years, so can we!” my husband confidently declared.  One November night the temperature plunged to below zero, and we woke up to find interior walls covered with frost.  My husband called the sisters to ask how they had kept the house warm.   After a rather brief conversation, he hung up.  “For the past 30 years, he muttered, “they’ve gone to Florida for the winter.”

** A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 bill fell out onto the sidewalk. Noticing this, a policeman stopped her and said, “Ma’am, there are $20 bills falling out of your bag.” “Oh really? Darn it!” said the little old lady. “I’d better go back and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me, officer.”
“Well now, not so fast,” said the cop. “Where did you get all that money? You didn’t steal it, did you?”
“Oh, no, no,” said the lady. “You see, my back yard is right next to a golf course. A lot of golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence right next to my flower garden. It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers you know. Then I thought ‘why not make the best of it?’ So now I stand behind my fence by the knot hole, real quiet like, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab ahold of it and say ‘OK, buddy! Give me $20 or off it comes!”
“Well, that seems only fair,” said the cop laughing. “Ok. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what’s in the other bag?” “Well, not everyone pays.”

We would like to thank you all for another awesome year in the hay business! We look forward to continuing business with you in 2020! We had a decent size sale due to taking a day off last week. We will have a sale on Thursday, but volume may be restricted by the weather.  Market today was called steady to strong on both alfalfa and grass. Quality was pretty good.

** On New Year's Eve, Daniel was in no shape to drive, so he sensibly left his van in the car park and walked home.  As he was wobbling along, he was stopped by a policeman.  'What are you doing out here at four o'clock in the morning?' asked the police officer.

'I'm on my way to a lecture,' answered Roger.

and who on earth, in their right mind, is going to give a lecture at this time on New Year's Eve?' inquired the constable sarcastically.

'My wife,' slurred Daniel grimly.
