California Weekly Hay Report
Southern California: FOB Barn/Stack: 18,130 Tons Delivered: 6,150
Compared to last week, Premium and Supreme Alfalfa not tested. No
production of this kind of hay this time of the year. Fair and Good
Alfalfa steady. Demand light as standoff between buyers and producers
continues. Supplies moderate to heavy. Hearing more dairies in
financial difficulties. Scattered rain showers and humid weather has
made production difficult at best. Seeing damage from white flies on
lots of new production. Retail and stable hay holding steady. Demand
light to moderate. Supplies moderate. Exporters still buying Sudan
hay, but very little of the other kinds of hay.
