Compared to last report, Export and Dairy new crop 1st cutting hay higher 
in a light test.
Retail and stable new crop hay also higher on 1st cutting.
Exporter and dairies along with Retail hay from feed stores in good demand 
as most have diminished supplies on hand.
Trade remains slow to moderate as most producers have sold out supplies 
but waiting on shipping and actual payments.
Demand good.
