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

Light to moderate demand for hay.
Scattered rains and high humidity the past week have made it challenging 
for hay producers to get hay put up.
Heavy dews in the mornings and then cloudy skies preventing hay from 
drying down quickly.
Area hay auctions are still seeing a large supply of old crop hay offered.
Very hot temps and windy conditions at the end of the week and through 
the weekend, with daily showers in the forecast until late next week.
