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

Compared to last week:  Alfalfa hay weak, grass hay steady to weak, corn 
stalks steady to weak.
Very little demand for alfalfa as this lack of the normal, harsh, winter 
weather has considerably lessened the need for alfalfa hay.
Dairy operators are resistant to asking prices as their margins are 
poor due to low milk prices.
More demand for grass hay, but still only moderate at best.
Area hay auctions are seeing a lot of hay being offered and prices are 
weak, which is causing hay users to balk at what's being offered to 
them in the country.
A large winter storm is forecast to start this weekend, with an inch 
of rain or a foot or more of snow, depending on how cold it gets.
Many days of rain chances after that in the 14 day forecast.
Moisture will be welcome but 30-40 mph winds will make life miserable 
for those taking care of livestock.
