California Weekly Hay Report
Southern California: FOB Barn/Stack: 17,005 Tons Delivered: 4,425
Compared to last week, Premium and Supreme Alfalfa not tested.
Beginning to see some earlier cuttings become available. Fair and
Good Alfalfa steady to firm. Demand light, standoff between producers
and buyers. Supplies moderate to good, starting to see more supplies
with grass and or white fly damage, which commands lower prices.
Retail and stable hay steady, demand light to moderate, supplies
moderate. Most producers in Antelope valley continuing to put hay in
the barn for winter take out. Exporters still buying Sudan hay, not
much interested in other kinds of hay.
