Light trade and meager amounts of dairy quality hay continue this week in many states. Below are examples of alfalfa and grass prices being paid FOB (freight on board) for selected states at the end of the day on Friday, July 17. Large ranges for a particular grade and state are often indicative of location and/or bale size. Also check the USDA Hay Market Prices site for additional locations.
