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

Compared to last week:  Alfalfa and grass hay steady, little trading 
going on currently.
Hay supplies remain adequate after a dry winter.
Warm temperatures have alfalfa fields growing, rain would be welcomed 
after a rather dry and windy spring so far.
