======================================================================
Demand remains light to moderate currently.
Hay buyers aren't very active in spite of a challenging year to put
up high quality hay.
Low cost of corn in rations is causing buyers to set their sights on
buying hay cheaper.
Corn harvest well underway and corn stalk baling now.
The month of October has been warm and dry, allowing for fast crop dry
now and a quick harvest, until rain at midweek slowed progress.
