The demand remains strong for the nice mixed hay and alfalfa, but the rougher grass and rained on hay (grinding hay) is pretty soft. Small squares are priced all over teh place anywhare from $4.00-$10.00, with good claean grass and late cutting mixed hay being near the top. small squares of straw remains strong with limited offerings. Big swuares and big rounds of good mixed hay or alfalfa were higher this week, but grinding hay continues to soften. We have seen a fair number of round bales of hay that was made dry and wrapped in a plastic (tube swapped) this winter. This type of hay is excellent feed, if everything works right, but we have seen a fair amount that has damage and some white mold that buyers have no interest in. With the cost of wrapping dry hay, a producer has to really consider weather wrapping dry hay is worth the cost. The hay even though it is dry, goes through its sweat and this moisture is not enough to ensilo the hay and therefore the hay has wet spots, smells funny and isn't very appealing Want to remind people the prices we report sometimes have a wide range, this is reflecting bales size and quality. We sometimes see a wide variation in bale sizes. Generally speaking our round bales are usually 5x5 rounds with an average weight of around 1200 lbs. Most of the big squares we sell or 3x3's and are usually 6-7' feet long (650-700 lbs)
