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

Special Note:
** Next released report will be Thursday, March 28 **.
 
Compared to last week, ground and delivered hay and alfalfa pellets sold 
steady.
Bales of grass hay and alfalfa at a standstill in the eastern and central 
areas.
Out west, bales of dairy quality hay sold steady.
Demand was very light in most areas.
Many farmers continue to bale cornstalks off their fields before spring 
planting.
There will be a lot of carry over roughages into the 2024 market.
Which isn't all bad as forages has been very tight in previous years.
