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

Compared to last week, new and old crop hay sold steady.
However, there seems to be a standoff between buyers and sellers, with 
buyers wanting lower prices before purchasing and sellers wanting to 
maintain current price levels.
The magical zoltar fortune machine from the movie "Big" would be helpful 
in this scenario.
First cutting alfalfa has been slow to kick off in some areas of the state.
Most of first cutting is baled in the east, just getting a good start 
in the central and the west is waiting for the rain showers to stop for 
everyone to get started.
Some alfalfa producers are taking off first cutting as green chop in 
various areas across the state as they have arrangements with feedlots 
or dairies.
Eastern third of the state remains very dry.
Many contacts in that area that farm, and hay said they need a rain in 
the next two weeks for dryland row crops to survive.
Plus, bountiful rains are needed for the second cutting of forage.
