New week, same story. This week, temperatures returned to the triple digits putting additional stress to an already weather worn crop. No rain fell for the week although I heard of a rumor of an isolated shower in a small area. Some hay was made since my last report, but it appears some farmers are delaying cutting hay until a shower of rain moves through to assure another growth of alfalfa.
Local grain bids are corn, $8.17; soybeans $17.73; and wheat $8.88.
Have a safe week.
