======================================================================

Compared to last week:  Few reported sales this week, alfalfa hay rather 
steady.
Moderate demand for alfalfa, best demand remains from out of state dairies 
for large squares of higher testing alfalfa.
Light demand from in state buyers as the mild winter reduced the need 
for supplemental hay feeding.
Light demand for corn stalks and straw, again due to the mild winter 
as cattle did not need the bedding that they normally would.
Colder weather set in across the state this week, stopping any green 
up and growth of alfalfa and grass.
Snow fell in Western SD at midweek as temps remain much below normal.
Area hay auctions still seeing large volumes of hay being offered as 
the supply remains plentiful.
