Compared to last week, Premium and Supreme Alfalfa, limited
production and near steady. Demand Good. Supplies light to moderate
on Premium, no production of Supreme in southern desert now. Fair and
Good Alfalfa steady to weak. Demand very light as most dairies have
adequate inventories of this kind of hay. Supplies becoming heavy and
as season continues more will be available. Seeing more hay from last
season production show up. Exporters mostly active on Sudan hay, but
not very interested in current Alfalfa production or Bermuda hay.
